It was only on difficult occasions that both Diabolus and his orator also came up.

You do not hear your great preachers every Sabbath.

They would not long remain great preachers, and you would soon cease to pay any attention to them, if they were always in the pulpit.

Neither do you have your great orators at every street corner.

Their masters only build theatres for them when some great occasion arises in the land, and when the best wisdom must straightway be spoken to the people and in the best way.
