An oracio deliberatiue is by the whiche we p<?Huade or dilluade any thi^g / and by the which we afke / or whereby we exorte any man to do a thynge / or els to forfake it / and this kynde of oracion is muche in vse / nat onely in ciuile maters : but alib in epiftles.
Of the preamble.
We may begynne our oracion in this kynde / euyn lyke as we dyd in an oracyon demonltratyue / but mofte aptly at our offyce or duety / lefte fome men wolde thynke that we dyd it more of a pri- uate affection for our owne cowmoditie & plefure : than for any other mannes profyte.
And in this maner Saluft in his boke of Cathelyne bryngethe in Cezare / begynnynge an oracyon. But let vs here nowe what Cezar fayeth.
All men rny lordes Senatoures whiche fyt cou/zcellyng vpon any doubtfull maner / mufte be voyde of hatred / fre//dfhyppe / anger / pitye / or mercye. For where any of thefe thynges bere a rule / mannes minde ca nat lightely p^rceiue 1 the truthe. &c.
Or els we may begyn at the greten<?^ 2 of the mater / or dau^ger of the thyng that we fpeke of / as in the fyfte boke of ~L\mus Camilla maketh the preamble of his oracio// thus.
