A. "but here's a parchment with the seal of Caesar; I found it in his closet, 'tis his will"

Antony mentions Caesar's will to the crowd, knowing that they will want to know what it says. He plays on this anticipation to keep them listening and make them continue to be on his side. Eventually he does reveal what the will says.
