Wallace is simply a special case of hendiadys, one category 
(*names/titles*) among many.

The current case:
	THi hWRISMENHi BOULHi KAI PROGNWSEI TOU QEOU
has all the structural markings of hendiadys: single article before entire 
phrase, single genitive following entire phrase.  It appears to be a case 
of *synonymous* hendiadys, for there is (arguably) an overlap between the 
'plan' of God and his 'foreknowledge'.  Alternatively, someone might argue 
it is an instance of *Cause-Effect* hendiadys, that the 'plan' of God 
produces his 'foreknowledge' (anyone care to take this position?).  I do 
not see any other alternatives presently; the context points to a 
singularity of God's intension in the delivery over of Christ.

God Bless!
