Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 10:10

10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

He might be more than ordinarily an hungred; to fit or suit the vision, which is hereafter mentioned.

The most excellent way of Gods manifesting himself unto man, is by a trance: (and they reckon seven ways, in which God makes himself known unto man) but what this trance was, is diversly expressed: 'tis certain, that in it the Soul was as it were absent from the Body, drawn off from the perception of earthly and sensible things, and enabled unto the perception of Heavenly Mysteries; in such an extasie was St. Paul, 2 Cor. 12.2. and St, Iohn, Rev. 1.10. who is therefore said to be in the spirit.
