ANTIMETABOLE, or ANTIMETATHESIS, that is, Commutation, from avri, contra, & μerabám, muto; which is often a kind of Epanados; as, Poema eft pictura loquens; mutum piltura poema, Hor. Inter viros fæmina, inter fæminas vir. Verè dici poteft, Magiftratum effe Legem loquentem, Legem autem mutum Magiftratum; Cic. de Leg. See 2 Cor. xii. 14. John xv. 16. Rom. vii. 19. 1 Cor. xi. 8, 9.

EPIMONE, Perfifting in the fame Words, from w, permaneo; as, This of Virgil, Ecl. 8. Incipe Menalios mecum mea Tibia Verfus. Ducite ab Urbe domum mea Carmina ducite Daphnim repeated eight times.

U. In THE USE OF REPETITIONS or Turns, obferve that

All TURNS should give a Luftre to Difcourfe, Muft raife new Thoughts, or grace with Mufic's

SECT. I.

Of PRONUNCIATION, or, The Ornaments of Utterance and Action.

What is Pronunciation? What are the Parts of Pronunciation? In the Delivery of an Oration, what is to be obferv'd as to Voice? What is to be obferv'd as to Action? Upon the Whole, What must be done to make ourselves acceptable Orators? §. 2. Perufe, conftrue, or tranflate (if you please) the following Precepts and Hints concerning Pronunciation, Voice, and Action. §. 3. Make Trial in gracefully and properly delivering fome or all of the annex'd Sentences, Orations, &c.

RONUNCIATION, or, Moving Delivery, which is the very Soul of all Rhetoric, con

fifts in a due Management of

the Voice and Countenance, as well as the proper Gefture of the Body and Hands, according to the Nature of the Paffion or Thing spoken of.

Hence the Parts of Pronunciation are VOICE and ACTION.

X. IN the Delivery therefore of an Oration, First as to VOICE

Vary your Tone just as your Subjects go,
Cant not, nor pitch your Voice too high or low,
Strain not, nor speak yourWords too fast or flow..
Y. Secondly, as to ACTION—
Whatever different Points your Speech demand,
In Joy,Grief, Hope, or Fear; with Art command
Your Body's Gesture, Countenance, and Hand. S

HE QUALI TULLY's Words are, In

OF AN ORATOR. Pronunciation, confifting of Voice and Action, is fo far from being reckon'd the meanest Qualification of an Orator, that, Huic primas dediffe DEMOSTHENES dicitur, cum rogaretur, quid in dicendo effet primum; buic fecundas, buic ter

tias; Cic. de Orat. 3. 56. Tho' indeed 'tis furprifing, as the A. B. of CAMBRAY obferves, to confider how much Knowledge, and how many Qualities are requir'd. An Orator, fays Cicero, ought to have the Acutenefs of Logicians, the Knowledge of Philofophers, the Stile almost of Poets, the Memory of Counfellors, the Elocution and Gefture of the fineft Adors; Cambray's Dial. Eloq. Stev. p. 59.

Sententia Philofophorum, Ver-
ba propè Poëtarum, Memoria
Jurifconfultorum, Vox Tragœ-

Adorn with TROPES and FIGURES your Oration,

Now fince Practice is much more prevalent, efficacious, and instructive than bare Precepts, I have annex'd the following Examples of Sentences, Orations, Declamations, Themes, &c. from Scripture and the Clafics, for the fedulous Student to exercife himself in this laft Part of Rhetoric, after having juft caft his Eye upon the following Precepts and Hints.
