then occasionally introduce certain points from the
main questions into the exordium, which will exercise
a valuable influence in winning the judge to regard

because they will be obvious as soon as we have
acquainted ourselves with the circumstances of each
dispute, while in view of the infinite variety presented by cases it is out of the question to specify
them here.
