Bellarmine falsely affirms that after the time of Moses those of foreign countries who were brought over to the new religion used tradition alone and were without the Scriptures. For proselytes were diligently instructed in the doctrine of Moses and the prophets, as we learn even from the single example of the eunuch of Queen Candace (Acts 8:27'39). Nor were the Scriptures entirely unknown to the Gentiles, especially after they had been translated into Greek in the time of Ptolemy Philadelphus.
