General Topology, chapter IX, Appendix 0. Infinite products in normed algebras

The sequence (xn)n∈N(x_n)_{n \in \mathbf{N}} is said to be multipliable in the normed algebra AA if the mapping J→pJJ \to p_J has a limit with respect to the filter of sections of the set F(N)\mathfrak{F}(\mathbf{N}) of finite subsets of N\mathbf{N}, ordered by the relation ⊂\subset; this limit is called the product of the sequence (xn)n∈N(x_n)_{n \in \mathbf{N}}, and is denoted by ∏n∈Nxn\prod_{n \in \mathbf{N}} x_n (or simply ∏nxn\prod_n x_n); the xnx_n are called the factors of this product.

Definition 1 is equivalent to the following: the sequence (xn)(x_n) is multipliable and its product is pp if for each ε>0\varepsilon > 0 there exists a finite subset J0J_0 of N\mathbf{N} such that, for every finite subset J⊃J0J \supset J_0 of N\mathbf{N}, we have ∣∣pJ−p∣∣≤ε||p_J - p|| \leq \varepsilon.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
