And his voice as the sound of many waters. The voice of Christ is resembled to the sound of many waters for two causes. First, to signify the loudness and greatness of it: the sound whereof hath been heard through all the world in the ministry of the Gospel. Secondly, to show the power and efficacy thereof in the ears of his creatures: for such power it is of, that when the creatures were not, He but spake the word & they were made, He. 11.3. This powerful voice of Christ, brought (d)Lazarus out of the grave after he had been dead four days bound hand and fo••e. And by this voice of Christ shall they that have been dead six thousand years before, be raised up to life, The hour shall come, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice: and shall come forth to judgement, John. 5.28, 29.
