The mysterie of rhetorique unveil'd wherein above 130 the tropes and figures are severally derived from the Greek into English : together with lively definitions and variety of Latin, English, scriptural, examples, pertinent to each of them apart. Conducing very much to the right understanding of the sense of the letter of the scripture, (the want whereof occasions many dangerous errors this day). Eminently delightful and profitable for young scholars, and others of all sorts, enabling them to discern and imitate the elegancy in any author they read, &c.

ANASTROPHE, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, praepostera rerum collocatio, a praeposterous placing of words or matter; derived from 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, [anastrepho] retro verto, to turn back.
A figure whereby words which should have been precedent, are postpon'd:
*Digna praeire solet postponere Anastrophe verba:
Transtra per. Italiam contra. Maria omnia circum.
