John Trapp on 2 Corinthians 12:4

Verſe 4. How that he was caught up] Not locally (likely) but in ſpirit, as Act 7.56. Ezek. 8.3.

Into Paradiſe] heaven, whereof that earthly Paradiſe was but a dark ſhadow. Hierome comforting a young Hermite, bad him look up to heaven, Et paradiſum mente deambulare, to take a few turns in Paradiſe by his meditations, aſſuring him that ſo long as he had Paradiſe in his minde, and heaven in his thought, Tamdiù in eremo non eris, He ſhould not be ſenſible of his ſolitarineſſe.

Ʋnspeakable words] Wordleſſe words, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. ſuch as words are too weak to utter. Nec Christies, nec Coelum patitur hyperbolen. A man cannot hyperbolize in ſpeaking of Chriſt and heaven; but muſt entreat his hearers, as Tully doth his Readers concerning the worth of L. Craſſus, Ʋt majus quiddam de ijs, quàm quae ſcripta ſunt ſuspicarentur, [illegible: 1 letter]. De Oratore. that they would conceive much more then he was able to expreſſe. It is as eaſie to compaſſe the heaven with a ſpan, or contain the ſea in a nut-ſhell, as to relate heavens happineſſe.
