PLOCE
PLOCE
PLOCE is, when a word is twice employed, so as that in the one instance the word itself is to be understood as meant, in the other instance an attribute of it. It almost belongs to ANTANACLASIS, which compare.-Joh 3:31, [i.e. He who is of earth in respect to natural birth and origin], [i.e. is of earth in respect to disposition and state]. See Gnom.-Ch. 19:22, [I have written simply], [i.e. I will not write otherwise].-Rom 7:13, [sin simply], [i.e. the worst evil]. ERNESTI refers also to this class the passage, Joh 1:10, , , [Inst. Int. N. T. p. 80].
