whatsoever: Job 24:14-15; Ecclesiastes 10:12-13, Ecclesiastes 10:20; Matthew 12:36; Jude 1:14-15

proclaimed: The houses in Judea being flat-roofed, with a balustrade round about, were used for the purpose of taking the air, sleeping, and prayer, and, it seems, for announcing things in the most public manner. So among the Turks, a crier announces the hours of public worship from the minaret or tower of the mosque.

housetops: Matthew 10:27
