1 The proofs, however,
require the utmost variety of delivery. For to state
them and distinguish between their various points,
and to examine witnesses, we employ something not
far removed from a colloquial tone, as is also the case
in anticipating objections, which is really another
form of statement. But in all these cases we sometimes deride, and sometimes mimic our opponents.
