7328. 'both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone' means of the good of charity and of the truth of faith - a total falsification of them. This is clear from the meaning of 'vessels of wood' as forms of the good of charity, dealt with in 2784, 2812, 3720; and from the meaning of 'vessels of stone' as forms of the truth of faith, dealt with in 1298, 3720, 6416.
