[Greek or Hebrew] properly signifieth such Voices and Cries that Mariners use one to another, as a sign when all should put forth their Oars to row together; or of men heaving at some weighty burden, do use as a sign when all should heave together, and join their strength together to lift it up: And then it is spoken after the manner of Men, for tho' the raising of all the Dead be a great Work, yet God will do it easily, and needs not the help and assistance of Angels thereunto; or else to express the Joy that the Dead in Christ shall rise, and to increase ⟨p. 185⟩the Terror of the Ungodly at that Day.
