Rainoldes. Nay, I do think it, or rather I do know it to be more unlikely, that they should so allege the scriptures as they do, then that Ovid should allude to Solomon, or cite Moses. For kthe books of Moses (l perhaps of Solomon too) were translated into Greek by the Seventy interpreters many a year before Ovid: and he might have read them. But your common Latin translation of the old testament, made (a great part of it) by S. Jerome out of the Hebrew, (whence it is called S. Jeromes,) could not be seen by Anacletus and other ancient Bishops of Rome. For they were deceased before he was borne. And yet all their epistles do allege the scriptures after that translation. An evident token, that the writer of them did live after S. Jerome: yea, a great while after him, as may be deemed probably. For the common Latin translation, which the ancient Latin Fathers used, was made out of the Greek of the Seventy interpreters. Tertullian, Cyprian, Hilary, Ambrose, and other of the same ages, show it in all their writings. Nether was that old translation forsaken straight ways, as soon as Jerome had set forth his new. For mAustin, who saw Jeromes, preferred still the old translation before it. nGregory, who lived about two hundred years after, doth use them both indifferently (because the Church of Rome did so,) obut liketh better of the new. And so in process of time the new translation
