  لِكَثْرَةِ — because of the frequency of. The prefix li- here is causal, 'because of / owing to', heading a verbal noun for 'frequency / muchness' that then opens a possessive chain with the next word. The preposition forces the 'of'-style ending; together they begin 'because of the frequency of...', giving the reason for what follows.

  بِكَثْرَةِ — by many. This is the preposition bi- ('by means of') fused to a noun, and it heads a possessive pair, 'by the abundance OF debates'. The bi- marks the means he leans on, the sheer volume of argument he hopes will rescue him. It governs the noun in the genitive.

  Do not be deceived by the great number of those who are perishing.

  بِكَثْرَةِ — by the great number of. The bi- marks the supposed cause of the deception ('by the great number'); it points to what might delude you. The noun it rides is 'abundance' and heads an 'of' pairing with the perishing ones named next. So bi- governs that whole 'multitude of...' phrase into the genitive and ties it to the warning verb.
