perpetuall darkenesse cleane exempt from the face God Hell hath also a place within it called Chasma out of the which issueth all manner of thunders lightnings with such shrikings and waylings that oftentimes the very Deuils themselues stand in feare thereof for one while it sendeth forth winds with excéeding snow haile and raine congraling the water into Ice with the which the damned are frozen gnash their teeth howle and cry and yet cannot dye Other whiles it sendeth foorth most horrible hot mistes or fogges with flashing flames of fire and Brimstone wherein the sorrowfull soules of the damned lye broiling in their reiterated torments yea Faustus hell is called a prison wherein the damned lie continually bound it is called Pernicies and Exitium death destruction hurtfulnesse mischiefe a mischance a pittifull and an euill thing world without ●nd We haue also with vs in hell a ladder reaching of excéeding height as though the toppe of the same would touch the heauens on which the damned ascend to seeke the blessing of God but through their infidelity when they are at the very highest degrée they fall downe againe into their former miseries complaining of the heate of that vnquenchable fire yea sweete Faustus so must thou vnderstand of hell the while thou art so desirous to know the secrets of our Kingdome And marke Faustus hell is the nurse of death the heate of all fire the sh●dow of heauen and earth the obliuion of all goodnesse the paines vnspeakable the griefes vnremouable the dwelling of deuils Dragons Serpents Adders Toades Crocodiles and all manner of venomo us and noysome creatures the puddle of sinne the stinking fogge ascending from the st●gian Lake brimstome pitch and all manner of vncleane mettals the perpetuall and vnquenchable fire the end of whose miseries was neuer purposed by God yea yea Faustus thou saiest I shall I must nay I will tell thée the secrets of our kingdome for thou buyest it dearely and thou must and shalt be pertaker of our torments that as the Lord God said neuer shall cease for Hell the womans belly and the earth are neuer satisfied there shalt thou abide horrible torments trembling gnashing of téeth houling crying burning fréezing melting swiming in a laborinth of miseries scalding smoaking in thine eyes stinking in thy nose horsenes of thy spéech deafenes of thine eares trembling of thine handes biting thine owne tongue with paine thy heart crushed as in a presse thy bones broken the diuels tossing firebrands vpon thée yea thy whole carcasse tossed vpon muck for is from one deuill to another yea Faustus then wilt thou wish for death and he will fly from thee thine vnspeakable torments shall be euery day augmented more and more for the greater the sinne the greater is the punishment how likest thou this my Faustus a resolution answerable to thy request Lastly thou wilt haue me tell thée that which belongeth onely to God which is if it be possible for the damned to come againe in to the fauour of God or not why Faustus thou knowest that this is against thy promise for what shouldst thou desire to know that hauing alreadie giuen thy soule to the deuill to haue the pleasure of this world and to know the secrets of hell therefore art thou damned and how canst thou then came againe to the fauour of God Wherefore I directly answere no for whomsoeuer GOD hath forsaken and throwne into hell must there abide his wrath and indignation in that vnquenchable fire where is no hope nor mercy to be looked for but abiding in perpetuall paines world without end for euen as much it auaileth thée Faustus to hope for the fauour of God againe as Luciser himselfe who indéed although he and we all haue a hope yet it is to small auaile and taketh none effect for out of that place God will neither heare crying nor sighing if he doe thou shalt haue as little remorse as Diues Caine or Iudas had what hel●eth the Emperour King Prince Duke Earle Baron Lord Knight Squire or Gentleman to cry for mercy being there Nothing for if on earth they would not be tyrants and selfe willed rich with couetousnes proude with pompe gluttons drunkards whoeremongers back biters robbers murtherers blasphemers and such like then were there some hope to be looked for therefore my Faustus as thou commest to hell with these quallities thou maist say with Caine My sins are greater then can be forgiuen goe hang thy selfe with Iudas and lastly be content to suffer torments with Diues Therefore know Faustus that the damned haue neither end nor time appointed in the which they may hope to be released for if there were any such hope that they by throwing one drop of water out of the Sea in a day vntill it were dry or if there were an heape of Sand as high as from the earth to the heauens that a bird carrying away but one corne in a day at the end of this so long labour that yet they might hope at the last God would haue mercy on them they would be comforted but now there is no hope that God once thinkes vpon them or that their howlings shall euer be heard yea so vnpossible it is for thée to hide thy selfe from God as vnpossible for thée to remoue the Mountaines or to empty the Sea or to tell the drops of raine that haue fallen from heauen vntill this day or to tell what there is most in the world yea and for a Camel to goe thorough the eye of a néedle euen so vnpossible it is for thée Faustus and the rest of the damned to come againe into the fauour of God and thus Faustus hast thou heard my last sentence and I pray thée how dost thou like it But know this that I counsell thée to let me be vnmolested hereafter with such disputations or else I will vexe thée euery limbe to thy small contentment Doctor Faustus departed from his spirit very pensiue and sorrowfull laying him on his bed altogether doubtfull of the grace and fauour of God wherefore he fell into fantasticall cogitations faine he would haue had his soule at libertie againe but the deuill had so blinded him and taken such déepe roote in his heart that he could neuer thinke to craue Gods mercy or if by chance he had any good motion straight wayes the deuill would thrust in a faire Lady into his chamber which fell to kissing and dalliance with him through which meanes he threw his godly motion in the winde going forward still in his wicked practises to the vtter ruine both of his body and soule Another question put foorth by Doctor Faustus to his Spirit Mephostophiles of his owne estate Chap. 16. DOctor Faustus being yet desirous to heare more strange things called his spirit vnto him saying By Mephos●ophi●es I haue yet another sute vnto thée which I pray thée deny me not to resolue me of Faustus qd the spirit I am loath to reason with thee any further for thou art
