Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 10:30

30 And Cornelius said , Four days ago I was fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing.

Cornelius does not intend to declare by this, how long he had fasted; but he tells him, when he being fasting▪ saw the vision, which was four days before; at the same time of the day.

The ninth hour, which was a time of prayer, it being the time of offering the evening-Sacrifice, see Chap. 3.1.

A man in appear[illegible: 2 letters]ce, but an Angel indeed, as in the 3. verse.

Why Ang[illegible: 2 letters] appeared in bright or white raiment. See Chap. 1.10.
