The favor that Antony asks of the conspirators is to speak at Caesar's funeral. They eventually let him, however Brutus gives him guidelines/restrictions that he must agree too or else he will not be allowed to speak at the funeral.
Brutus allows Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral to show that they have nothing to hide and to demonstrate their commitment to fairness and democracy. It was also part of their strategy to win the public's support by giving Antony a chance to address the crowd.
Brutus sets these rules for Antony to abide by; 1. that Antony will not blame Brutus and the conspirators " You shall not in your funeral speech blame us" 2. to speak only of the good things Antony can think of about Caesar "speak all good you can devise of Caesar" 3. ensure that he [Antony] informs the plebeians/people that he is only speaking at Caesar's funeral because he was given permission to, by Brutus and co. "And say you do it by our permission" 4. that Antony will speak in the same pulpit where Brutus is going to speak "and you shall speak in the same pulpit whereto I am going" If Antony does not agree, then he "shall not have any hand at all about his [Caesar's] funeral" Hope that helps
brutus spoke first and then they let Antony speak under certain conditions
He asks permission to speak in the funeral of Julius Caesar.
Cassius tells Brutus that allowing Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral could be dangerous because Antony is a powerful speaker and may turn the crowd against them by reminding them of Caesar's good deeds. Cassius warns that Antony could incite the crowd to rebel against the conspirators.
He must not speak against the conspirators and he will just speak whatever good he can come up with about Caesar.
