William Burkitt on Acts 10:17

Here note, 1. How St. Peter sets himself to meditate upon what he had seen and heard from God: He pondered with himself what this vision, which he had seen, should mean. Whatever passes from God to man, either by the eye, or through the ear, ought to be the subject of our deepest meditation. We are to contemplate the excellencies and perfections which are in the word and works of God with an intellectual eye, and to dwell upon them in our serious thoughts.

Note, 2. The care which the Holy Spirit took to resolve satisfactorily the inward doubtings and reasonings of St. Peter's mind concerning this matter: I have sent them, says the Holy Spirit; therefore arise and go down, nothing doubting.

Where observe, Both the divinity and personality of the Holy Ghost: He that knows the thoughts, the doubtings and reasonings of man's heart, as the Holy Ghost here did St. Peter's, is truly and really God; and he that commands and forbids, is really person. So doth the Holy Spirit here: he commands St. Peter to go to Cornelius, and forbids his doubting of the lawfulness or success of his journey: Go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.
