As it is said of Jonathan, his heart did cleave •o David: so the woman cleaves to her husband, as Saint Paul speaks: when the will chooseth, and cleaves to that which is good, then there is a drawing near.
3Againe, wee are neare them when our wills first make choyce of the better part with Mary; when upon discovery of the understanding, ⟨p. 147⟩the will chuseth deliberatly: upon consideration followes the determination, and chusing of the will, and upon choice, cleaving, which is another act of the will; when it chuseth that which is spiritually best, every way best for grace, and condition, then it cleaves to it. As it is said of Ionathan, his heart did cleave •o David: so the woman cleaves to her husband, as Saint Paul speaks: when the will chuseth, and cleaves to that which is good, then there is a drawing neare.
