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

Why is Anthony's funeral oration better than Brutus's funeral oration?

Antony was appealing to the emotions of the mob; Brutus was appealing to their intelligence. Antony knew that the kind of rabble-rousing he had in mind would be effective in making them do crazy things (like killing Cinna the poet), and allowing him to eventually become dictator. Politically, it works; it succeeded in doing all that Antony wanted. But does that make it better? Brutus's argument was more intellectually satisfying, more grounded in morality and good governance. It was less effective but more right.
