{And the Holy Ghost also beareth witness to us} (marturei
de h(886d)in kai to pneuma to hagion). Marture(935c) is common in Philo
for Scripture quotation. The author confirms his interpretation
of  Ps 40:7-9  by repeating from Jeremiah ( Jer 31:31ff. ) what
he had already quoted ( 8:8-12 ). {After he hath said} (meta to
eir(886b)enai). Accusative case after meta of the articular
infinitive perfect active, "after the having said."
