But before I
come to that, I want to speak about the tricks by which I am told he will try to
deceive you; for I think it very necessary for me to put my remarks on that
subject before you, and very important for you to hear them. Why so? Because the
same argument that prevents your deception will help you to cast your votes in
accordance with justice and your oath. You must pay attention to this argument
above all others and bear it in mind, so as to meet each separate point in his
speech.
