37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

5016. 'And I cried out with a loud voice' means that it was filled with aversion. This is clear from the meaning of 'a cry' as speaking falsely, dealt with in 5011, and therefore 'crying out' here implies the same. That is to say, false speaking is implied in her crying out to the men of the house for help, meaning that the unspiritual natural truth felt repelled by the spiritual; it is also implied by her assertion that she cried out with a loud voice, meaning that it was filled with aversion to the spiritual.
