☞ Note that an Imperative, Commanding, or Exhortatory Apostrophe is frequently Indicative and Vaticinatory or Prophetical, that is, such things as are to come to pass, are foretold by the Prophets in the form of commanding, Esa. 6.9, 10. (see Mat: 13.14. Act. 28.26, 27.) Esa. 47.1, 5. & 23.16. Take an Harp, 1go about the City thou Harlot that hast been forgotten; upon which Musculus thus comments, Per formam Apostrophes, &c. By the form of an Apostrophe, he expresses the care of restoring Tyre. He does dot exhort her to do this, but under this Figure foretells what she shall do after her Restitution, seventy Years from that time,— she shall act as an Harlot, who when released from any great Affliction, falls afresh to the practice of her Meretricious Arts, and Enticements, to allure the unwary Youth to her Snare; She takes her Harp, (for the Whores in those Countries were skilful in that sense-enticing Art of Music) quavers her Notes, in consort with her charming Voice, gadding about the City to insinuate into the Affections of Young Men. So Tyre, when restored, will fall again to Merchandizing,2 in as brisk a manner as before its Devastation, &c. Jer. 6.1, 6, 26.
