Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 10:35

35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Even tho Romans ▪ or Italians ▪ of which Nation Cornelius was, and might probably be worse thought of by the Iews, because they supposed themselves to have been hardly used by them.

These two particulars include the observation of both Tables of the Law: The fearing of God comprehends piety, that is, the true worship of the true God; and working righteousness, includes all the duties to our neighbour; and both describe a truely good, and holy man, such as Cornelius was; unto whose case this is to be applied.
