God shall scourge the lustful here with the whip of judgements, diseases of body, infamy of name, overthrow of estate, vexation of conscience. And Satan shall hereafter burn them in wild fire, such flames as can never be quenched. The leaden vessel is, as the sense & sentence declares it, the blessing of God. The chooser of it shall have what God hath disposed for him. Blessed soul that makes this election: for opened, it was found full of gold and most precious jewels; every one more worth then a world, the immortal graces of Gods Spirit.

The Virgin chose this, and she was married ⟨p. 97⟩to the Kings son. Choose this vessel, O my soul; and Jesus Christ the king of heaven shall marry thee. No matter though it seem lead without; glister not with earthly vanities: it is rich within; the wealth thereof cannot be valued, though all the Arithmeticians of the world go about to sum it.1 There be many that say, who will show us any good? Lord lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
