reason derived from
greatest happiness principle.
His own authority he sets
down as nothing.

+ 5 Apol
Reasons. At the outset in
the fewest words possible.
Follow developments for
those to whom they appear
needful.

+ 6. Apol.
Rhetoric – appeal to passion
or imagination – endeavor
at deception – none.

+ 7 Apol.
"Strike but hear" "Be
ag angry & sin not."
Sin, you will suffer –
not I: angry you cannot
make me.

+ 8. Apol.

above arsenals, with
ornaments form the
same wardrobe, others may
address you on the same
style side: to my simple
reasons they may
refer you for greater
security.
