The
rules
of
eloquence
are
true
,
though
sometimes
used
to
persuade
men
of
what
is
false
There
are
also
certain
rules
for
a
more
copious
kind
of
argument
,
which
is
called
eloquence
,
and
these
rules
are
not
the
less
true
that
they
can
be
used
for
persuading
men
of
what
is
false
;
but
as
they
can
be
used
to
enforce
the
truth
as
well
,
it
is
not
the
faculty
itself
that
is
to
be
blamed
,
but
the
perversity
of
those
who
put
it
to
a
bad
use
.
Nor
is
it
owing
to
an
arrangement
among
men
that
the
expression
of
affection
conciliates
the
hearer
,
or
that
a
narrative
,
when
it
is
short
and
clear
,
is
effective
,
and
that
variety
arrests
men
'
s
attention
without
wearying
them
.
And
it
is
the
same
with
other
directions
of
the
same
kind
,
which
,
whether
the
cause
in
which
they
are
used
be
true
or
false
,
are
themselves
true
just
in
so
far
as
they
are
effective
in
producing
knowledge
or
belief
,
or
in
moving
men
'
s
minds
to
desire
and
aversion
.
And
men
rather
found
out
that
these
things
are
so
,
than
arranged
that
they
should
be
so
.
