1.) To capture the audience attention in saying you all are good willed people, let me tend to you guys's needs.

4.) " But since i feel that you are, men pf genuine good will and that your criticisms,s are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement in what i hope will be patient and reasonable terms."
