CHAPTER IV.

_Repetition_ of sounds is either of the _like_, or the _unlike_ sound.

Of the _like_, is either _continued_ to the end of, or _broken_ off from, the _same_, or a _diverse_ sentence.

_Continued_ to the end of the _same_ sentence is, when the same sound is repeated without anything coming between, except a parenthesis; that is, something put in, without the which, notwithstanding, the sentence is full. And it is a joining of the same sound, as Rom. i. 29: _All unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness_. And in the prayer of Christ, _My God, my God_. _From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men_, &c. (Psalm xvii. 14.)

_Continued_ in a _diverse_ sentence is, either a redoubling, called _anadyplosis_; or a pleasant climbing, called _climax_.

Redoubling is when the same sound is repeated in the end of the former sentence, and the beginning of the sentence following. As Psalm ix. 9: _The Lord also will be a refuge to the poor, a refuge, I say, in due time_. Psalm xlviii. 14: _For this God is our God_. But more plain in Psalm xlviii. 8: _As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever_.

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_.
