A pleasant climbing, is a redoubling continued by divers degrees or steps of the same sounds; as Rom. viii. 17: _If we be children, we be heirs, even heirs of God, annexed with Christ_. Rom. viii. 30: _Whom he predestinated, them also he called; and whom he called, them also he justified; and whom he justified, them also he glorified_. Also Rom. ix. 14, 15. And hitherto of the same sound _continued to the end_. Now followeth the same sound _broken off_. ========== CHAPTER V. The same sound _broken off_, is a repetition of the same in the _beginning_ or in the _end_. In the _beginning_, it is called _anaphora_, a bringing of the same again; as Rom. viii. 38, 39: _Nor death, nor life, nor angels, &c. nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us, &c._ So likewise Ephes. iv. 11: _Some to be apostles, some preachers, &c._ So Galatians ii. 14: _Nor Jew, Gentile, &c._ So likewise Hebrews xi. 1, 2. Repetition of the same sound _in the end_, is called _epistrophe_, a turning to the same sound in the end. So Ezekiel viii. 15: _Behold greater abominations than these_. Lament. iii. 41, &c.: _Let us lift up our hearts with our hands unto God in the heavens; we have sinned and have rebelled; therefore thou hast not spared_. When both of these are joined together, it is called a coupling or symplote. As 2 Cor. vi. 4-11: _But in all things we approve ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, &c._ See also 2 Cor. xi. 23. Hitherto of the repetitions in the _same place_. Now of those that do interchange their place. They are either _epanalepsis_, which signifieth to take back; or _epanados_, which signifies the turning to the same tune. The first is when the same sound is repeated in the beginning and the ending; as, 2 Sam. xviii. 33: _My son Absolom, my son_. _Epanados_ is when the same sound is repeated in the beginning and the middle, in the middle and the end. Ezekiel xxxv, 6: _I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: except thou hate blood, even blood shall pursue thee_. And 2 Thes. ii. 4: _So that he that doth sit as God, in the temple of God, sheweth himself that he is God_. Hitherto of the repetition of those sounds which are _like_. Now of those that are _unlike_. ========== CHAPTER VI. _Unlike_; a small changing of the name, as παρονομασια; a small changing of the end or case, as πολυπτωτον. A small change of name is, when a word, by the change of one letter or syllable, the signification also is changed; as, Rom. v. 4: _Patience, experience; and experience, hope_. 2 Cor. x. 3: _We walk after the flesh, not war in the flesh_. 2 Cor. vi. 8-9: _So by honour and dishonour, as unknown and yet known_.
