through the entire sentence ; namely, if an orator handles or dis- cusses in (by) the one kind of Trope any whole sentiment, or con- tinued train of thought, there is in that case a regular Allegory. This may be done in the case of all Tropes or figures, which are all to be handled in such a way as that you must preserve throughout the Trope when once begun : but inasmuch as it is in Metaphors , for the most part, that their being continued usually takes place, some persons less accurately call an A llegory a continued Metaphor. Ex- amples occur : John vi. 32, et seqq. An allegorical speech herein occurs with the explanation added in plain (not figurative) words. — Acts XX. 29, tifftXtuffovrai — Xvxoi (3aptTg tig vf/j&g, firi (ptido/xevoi rov ttoiuviov. An Allegory is in this instance taken from animals. — Rom. ii. 15, ffu/A/Auprupovtirig — xarqyopov vruv — dTroXoyovfisvuv ; from a judicial pro- cedure.— Rom. vi. 13, 23, onXa — o^/dtvia ; from military life. So 2 Cor, xi. 8. — Rom. xv. 16, 7^iroupy'ov — ispovpyovvra — Kpocpopu, a minister , — performing the sacred functions — the offering ; from the Levitical worship of the Old Testament. — 1 Cor. xv. 36, et seqq. ; from agricul ture. — Phil. iii. 9 : an Allegory of loss and gain.
AMPLIATIO is, when demonstratives or epithets are predicated of their subjects, even though the reason of so denominating them has ceased ; or, when, though the thing is changed, the old name is retained. Sal. Glassii Philol. S. liii. Tract, i. Can. iii. p. m. 538, etc. For instance : — Matt. x. 3, M arbcuog 6 rtXdvri g, that is, who for- merly had been a publican : ch. ix. 9. Comp, the Gnom. on this passage. — John ix. 17, Xtyovffi rti 7\><pX& — i.e. ru> dvQpdKw og r,v rupXoc* ver. 24.
Another kind of Ampliatio is [ one which they call more specially Prolepsis], if the designation of a thing is taken from the future event ; or, if a thing is described not so much such as it now is, as such as it is about to be. Glass. L. c. p. 542, e-g. — Luke ii. 11, on Wtyfri IfiTv ar,/xipov ’Zwr/ip, on which the Gnom. at ver. 30 remarks, The heavenly beings give the infant the appellation Saviour in the way of Ampliatio. — John x. 16, xa/' ciXXcc xpofiarot s%u — other sheep , i.e. future and foreseen : The Gnom. on the passage. — 1 Cor. xiv. 22 ; James ii. 23 : See Gnomon. Comp. Flacius’ Key to Scripture, P. ii. Tract, iv. p. 299 ; and as to Prolepsis of Construction , p. 225.
ANADIPLOSIS is the repetition of the same word in the end of the preceding and beginning of the following member : e.g. — John xviii. 37, ffi) Xtytig, on fiaoiXfjg ii/ii iyd. iyu tig toZto ytyswr^uou. — Rom. viii. 17, ti dt rixi/a, xa/ xa rjpovo/ior xXripovojtioi fi'tv ©eoD. — 2 Cor. v. 17, 18, idov ytyovt xa/va, ra rrdvra. Ta 5? vdvru ix roD 0soD.
Anadiplosis, taken in a under sense , has place also in the case of conjugate words [See Gnom. on James i. 1, 2] : e.g. — Gal. iv. 31, v. 1, aXXd rrig eXtvOepag. T fj sXtv6tp/a o5v fi Xpiorog — See Gnom. See Philol. S. L. Y. of Glassius, Tract, ii. ch. i. p. m. 1992.
