shall_v say_v this_o clink_n the_o close_a be_v now_o leave_v off_o by_o we_o in_o prose_n and_o so_o we_o pass_v again_o to_o exordium_n chap._n xxx_o of_o exordium_n the_o exordium_n be_v a_o preparation_n of_o the_o auditor_n and_o a_o summary_n declaration_n of_o the_o subject_a to_o those_o that_o know_v it_o not_o that_o they_o may_v understand_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o discourse_n and_o give_v attention_n to_o it_o and_o as_o far_o as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o desire_v their_o favourable_a construction_n of_o our_o word_n in_o make_v our_o first_o proposition_n to_o the_o hearer_n thus_o i_o stand_v up_o to_o advise_v how_o we_o shall_v carry_v on_o the_o war_n against_o the_o syracusan_n or_o i_o stand_v up_o to_o show_v that_o it_o do_v not_o behoove_v we_o to_o assist_v the_o syracusan_n and_o this_o a_o brief_a sum_v up_o of_o the_o matter_n now_o how_o to_o persuade_v to_o attention_n we_o shall_v best_o know_v from_o hence_o if_o we_o understand_v what_o word_n and_o subject_n most_o provoke_v our_o attention_n now_o we_o be_v general_o most_o attentive_a when_o we_o consult_v either_o about_o great_a thing_n or_o terrible_a thing_n or_o thing_n familiar_a to_o we_o or_o when_o the_o orator_n tell_v we_o they_o will_v demonstrate_v to_o we_o how_o just_a how_o honest_a how_o useful_a how_o easy_a to_o be_v accomplish_v those_o thing_n be_v to_o which_o they_o exhort_v we_o or_o request_v the_o auditory_a to_o hear_v they_o with_o attention_n therefore_o as_o they_o themselves_o use_v to_o deal_v by_o other_o so_o likewise_o we_o choose_v out_o of_o the_o premise_n the_o most_o proper_a to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n and_o make_v they_o clear_a to_o the_o hearer_n shall_v gain_v their_o attention_n then_o we_o shall_v acquire_v their_o favour_n and_o good_a will_n observe_v first_o how_o they_o stand_v affect_v to_o ourselves_o in_o particular_a whether_o kind_o or_o morose_o whether_o well_o or_o ill_o if_o they_o be_v benevolent_a it_o will_v be_v needless_a to_o speak_v of_o benevolence_n but_o if_o we_o must_v needs_o take_v notice_n of_o their_o kindness_n we_o ought_v to_o speak_v brief_o with_o a_o irony_n in_o this_o manner_n how_o great_a have_v be_v my_o affection_n to_o this_o city_n and_o how_o often_o by_o my_o persuasion_n you_o have_v act_v with_o great_a profit_n ad_fw-la advantage_n and_o how_o just_a i_o have_v show_v myself_o to_o r_o e_o public_n rather_o choose_v to_o expend_v of_o my_o own_o then_o to_o be_v a_o debtor_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n i_o dâ—em_v it_o neâ—aless_n to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n who_o know_v it_o so_o well_o already_o now_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v rule_v by_o i_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o how_o you_o may_v do_v well_o but_o if_o the_o hearer_n be_v neither_o opposite_a nor_o well_o dispose_v we_o may_v tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v but_o just_a and_o useful_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v kind_a to_o such_o and_o such_o citizen_n and_o discourage_v those_o who_o have_v as_o yet_o give_v no_o experiment_n of_o themselves_o then_o we_o may_v stroke_v the_o auditory_a with_o a_o encomium_n that_o they_o have_v always_o be_v accustom_a to_o pass_v their_o iudment_n grave_o and_o just_o also_o extenuation_n may_v be_v use_v as_o thus_o i_o stand_v up_o not_o confide_v so_o much_o in_o my_o eloquence_n but_o believe_v i_o shall_v offer_v that_o which_o will_v be_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o public_a but_o as_o for_o those_o that_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o accusation_n of_o necessity_n either_o themselves_o or_o the_o matter_n of_o which_o they_o discourse_v or_o the_o oration_n itself_o must_v contain_v the_o accusation_n now_o these_o scandal_n be_v draw_v either_o from_o the_o time_n past_a or_o present_a if_o any_o suspicion_n be_v have_v of_o any_o from_o the_o time_n past_a then_o make_v use_v of_o anticipation_n towards_o the_o auditor_n nor_o be_o i_o ignorant_a that_o i_o lie_v under_o some_o kind_n of_o scandal_n among_o you_o but_o i_o shall_v make_v all_o those_o appear_v to_o be_v false_a then_o make_v a_o short_a apology_n in_o the_o exordium_n if_o thou_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o say_v for_o thyself_o or_o in_o repeal_n of_o the_o judgement_n for_o if_o a_o man_n lie_v under_o any_o scandal_n private_o or_o public_o judgement_n will_v sure_o follow_v or_o else_o have_v be_v already_o or_o else_o the_o accuser_n will_v not_o take_v judgement_n and_o we_o must_v then_o say_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v unjust_o adjudge_v or_o that_o we_o be_v injure_v by_o our_o enemy_n or_o if_o this_o be_v not_o so_o probable_a that_o it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v for_o we_o who_o have_v then_o the_o worst_a of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v unjust_a since_o the_o matter_n be_v already_o decree_v to_o bring_v the_o accusation_n upon_o the_o stage_n again_o but_o if_o the_o sentence_n be_v likely_a to_o prove_v notorious_a then_o allege_v thyself_o prepare_v to_o answer_v all_o accusation_n in_o this_o most_o honourable_a assembly_n and_o that_o if_o thou_o have_v do_v the_o commonwealth_n any_o injury_n know_o and_o of_o set_a purpose_n thou_o be_v ready_a to_o suffer_v if_o the_o enemy_n do_v not_o insist_v violent_o then_o bring_v the_o argument_n of_o conjecture_n that_o because_o they_o believe_v they_o have_v accuse_v we_o falselv_n therefore_o they_o desist_v from_o their_o prosecution_n for_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o they_o shall_v refuse_v to_o have_v judgement_n give_v have_v they_o bring_v a_o real_a accusation_n also_o we_o ought_v at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o inveigh_v against_o calumny_n let_v the_o world_n know_v how_o venomous_a how_o pernicious_a and_o of_o how_o many_o mischief_n it_o be_v the_o common_a cause_n and_o how_o many_o man_n have_v be_v ruin_v by_o false_a accusation_n we_o may_v also_o declare_v how_o idle_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o those_o that_o consult_v the_o common_a safety_n not_o to_o hear_v what_o be_v say_v by_o all_o and_o then_o to_o consider_v what_o they_o hear_v but_o to_o lie_v fester_v the_o accusation_n of_o particular_a person_n and_o therefore_o for_o thy_o part_n
