Nay = no. I’m not sure of the meaning of this line, unless it’s suggesting that God’s love also overflowed into Hell. Are you sure nay is correct?

Thine elect roughly = your elected, ie the people God has chosen.

Veans must be be veins.

To quench those flames, that else would on us feed = to extinguish those flames (presumably of Hell) which would otherwise have consumed us.
