SEttle thy Study Faustus and begin To sound the Depth of that thou wilt profess These Metaphysicks of Magicians And Negromantick Books are heav'nly Lines Circles Letters Characters Ay these are those that Faustus most desires A sound Magician is a Demi-God Here tire my Brains to get a Deity Mephostopholis under the Stage A good and bad Angel fly down Good Ang.

The Devil or the Devil's Companion He had a Head like a Bulls with Horns on and two Eyes that glow'd like the Balls of a dark Lantern His Hair stood a Tiptoe like your new-fashion'd Top-kno●s with a Mouth as large as a King's Beef Eater His Nails was as sharp as a Welshman's in Passion and he look'd as frightful as a Sergeant to an Al●●tian Faust. But why art thou a●raid of the Devil Scar. Why I never said my Prayers in all my Life but once and that was when my damn'd Wife was sick that she might dye My Ears are as deaf to good Council as French Dragoons are to Mercy And my Conscience wants as much sweeping as a Cook 's Chimny And I have as many Sins to answer for as a Church-warden or an Overseer of the Poor Faust. Why the Devil loves Sinners at his Heart Scar. Does he so Faust. He hates none but the Vertuous and the Godly Such as Fast and go to Church and give Alms-deeds Scar. I never saw a Church in my Life thank God I mean the Devil and for Fasting it was always my Abomination and for Alms I never gave any Thing in my Life but the Itch once to a Pawn-broker Therefore I hope he may Love me Faust. And he shall Love thee I 'll bring the● acquainted with him Scar. Acquainted with the Devil Faust. Ay Tant● m●tropon●is Acherontis Scar. Oh oh oh Faust.

The Devil go with him Faust. Fear nothing I command the Devil If thou wilt leave thy Chimny-sweeping Trade and live with me thou shalt have Meat and Drink in Plenty and 40 Crowns a Year shall be thy Wages I 'll make thee Learned in the black Art Scar. I am a Student in that already But let me consider Good Meat and Drink and 40 Crowns a Year Then I 'll change my black Art for yours Faust. There 's Earnest thou art now my Servant dispose of thy Brooms and Poles they 'll be useless to thee here take this Key go into my Study and clean take all the Books you find scatter'd about and range 'em orderly upon the Shelves Scar. Happy Scaramouche now may'st thou Swear Lye Steal Drink and Whore for thy Master is the Devil's Master and thou in time may'st master 'em both Exit Scaram Enter Mephostopholis Meph. Now Faustus what wouldst thou have with me Faust. I charge thee wait upon me whilst I live And do what-ever Faustus shall command Meph. Ay Faustus so I will if thou wilt purchase me of Lucifer Faust. What says Lucifer thy Lord Meph. That I shall wait on Faustus whil'st he Lives So thou wilt buy my Service with thy Blood Faust. Already Faustus has hazarded that for thee Meph. Ay but thou must bequeath it solemnly And write a Deed of Gift with it For that Security craves Lucifer If thou deny it I must back to Hell Bad Ang. But Faustus if I shall have thy Soul I 'll be thy Slave and worship thy Commands And give thee more than thou hast Will of Faust. If he will spare me Four and twenty Years Letting me Live in all Voluptuousness To have thee ever to attend on me To give me whatsoever I shall ask And tell me whatsoever I demand On these Conditions I resign it to him Meph. Then Faustus stab thy Arm couragiously And bind thy Soul that at some certain Day Great Lucifer may claim it as his own And then be thou as Great as Lucifer Faust. Lo Mephostopholis for Love of thee Faustus has cut His Arm and with his proper Blood Assures his Soul to be great Lucifers Meph. But Faustus write it in manner of a Deed and Gift Faust. Ay so I do but Mephostopholis my Blood congeals and I can write no more Meph. I 'll fetch thee Fire to dissolve it streight Exit Faust. What might the staying of my Blood portend It is unwilling I should write this Bill Good and bad Angel descend Good An. Yet Faustus think upon thy precious Soul Bad An.
