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_.
