single theme in that specific passage is Saint Augustine's style, and appeals to Basevorn because it is a type of thematic sermon. The merit in Saint Augustine's style, according to Basevorn, is it is best suited for people with short memories or attention spans. Morality, not faith, is the point of emphasis in Saint Gregory's sermons. Basevorn appreciates Saint Gregory's style because he provides tangible examples of morality and the merits of Christianity in practical terms. He of Basevorn's five sources is the lone one to do so. Lastly, Saint Bernard's style stands out to Basevorn because he frequently cites from primary sources, so that a more authoritative source confirms what he says in a sermon. Ornamentation of a sermon The Form of Preaching’s third focus is the ways in which a sermon can be ornamented. Ornamentation includes aesthetic techniques but also formal characteristics that comprise a sermon's structure. In all, Basevorn cites twenty-two ornaments. The list of ornaments can be divided into two main categories: ornaments that are intrinsic to a sermon's content, and ornaments that deal with the presentation of the sermon. The first fifteen ornaments are intrinsic to a sermon, and the list of intrinsic ornaments is as follows: Invention of the theme Winning-over of the audience Prayer Introduction Division Statement of the parts Proof of the parts Amplification Digression (or transition) Correspondence Agreement of correspondence Circuitous development Convolution Unification Conclusion (p. 132). While the intrinsic ornaments deal with the composition and structure of a sermon, the extrinsic ornaments are: Coloration Modulation of voice Appropriate gesture Timely humour Allusion Firm impression Weighing of subject matter (p. 132). These ornaments are presentational and are a means for delivering an effective sermon. Sources James J., Murphy. “Introduction.” Three Medieval Rhetorical Arts. Ed. James J. Murphy.
