[214]
Or again, look at it in this light, gentlemen of the jury. Suppose
that I were on trial, with Aeschines for my accuser, and Philip for my judge,
and suppose that, being unable to deny my guilt, I were to vilify Aeschines and
throw mud at him; do you not think that that is just what would move Philip's
indignation, his own benefactors calumniated before his own tribunal? Do not be
less rigorous than Philip, but compel him to address his defence to the real
issues of this controversy. Now read the deposition.“
