neuer satisfied in thy minde but alwayes bringest me anew Yet I pray thée this once qd Faustus doe me so much fauour as to tell me the truth in this matter and hereafter I will be no more so earnest with thée the spirit was altogether against it but yet once more he would abide him well said the spirt to Faustus what demandest thou of me Faustus said I would gladly know of thée if thou wert a man in manner and for●e as I am what wouldst thou doe to please both God and man whereat the spirit smiled saying My Faustus if I were a man as thou art and that God had adorned me with those guifts of nature as thou once hadst euen so long as the breath of God were by and within mée would I humble my selfe vnto his Maiestie endeauouring in all that I could to kéepe his commandements praise him and glorifie him that I might continue in his fauour so were I sure to enioy the eternall ioy and felicitie of his kingdome Faustus said but that I haue not done No thou saist true qd Mephostophiles thou hast not done it but thou hast denyed the Lord thy maker which gaue thée the breath of life spéech hearing sight and all other thy reasonable sences that thou mightest vnderstand his will and pleasure to liue to the glory and honour of his name and to the aduancement of thy body and soule him I say being thy maker hast thou denyed and defied yea wickedly thou hast applyed that excellent guift of thy vnderstanding and giuen thy soule to the deuill therfore giue none the blame but thine owne self will thy proud and aspiring minde which hath brought thée into the wrath of God and vtter damnation This is most true qd Faustus but tell me Mephostophiles wouldst thou be in my case as I am now yea saith the spirit and with that fetcht a great sigh for yet would I so humble my selfe that I would win the fauour of God Then said D.

NOw Faustus falling to practice and making his Prognestications he was doutfull in many points wherefore he called vnto him mephostophiles his Spirit saying I finde the ground of this science very difficult to attaine vnto for when that I conferre Astronomia and Astrologia as the Mathematicians and ancient writers haue left in memorye I finde them to barry and very much to disagree wherefore I pray thée to teach me the truth in this matter to whome his spirit answered Faustus thou shalt knowe that the practicioners or speculators or at least the first inuenters of these Artes haue done nothing of themselues certaine whereupon thou maist attaine to the true prognosticating or presaging of things concerning the heauens or of the influence of the planets for if by chaunce some one Mathematician or Astronomer hath left behinde him any thing worthy of memory they haue so blinded it with Enigmaticall wordes blinde Characters and such obscure s●gures that it is impossible for an earthly man to attaine to the knowledge thereof without the ayde of some spirit or els the speciall guift of God for such are the hidden works of God from men yet doe we spirits that die and fléete in all Elements know such and there is nothing to be done or by the heauens pretended but we know it except onely the day of Doome Wherefore Faustus learne of me I will teach thée the course recourse of ♄ ♃ ♀ ☉ ☿ and ☾ the cause of winter and summer the exaltation and declination of the Sunne and Ecclipse of the Moone the distance and height of the Poles and euery fixed starre the nature and operation of the Elements fire ayre water and earth and all that is contained in them yea herein there is nothing hidden from me but onely the filthy essence which once thou hadst Faustus at liberty but now Faustus thou hast lost it past recouery wherefore leauing that which wil not be again had learn now of me to make thunder lightning haile snow and raine the cloudes to rent the earth and craggy rocks to shake and split in sunder the Seas to swell rore and ouer-run their markes knowest not thou that the déeper the Sunne shines the hotter he pierces so the more thy Art is famous whilest thou art héere the greater shall be thy name when thou art gone Knowest not thou that the earth is frozen cold and dry the water running cold and moist the ayre flying hot and moist the fire consuming hot and dry Yea Faustus so must thy heart be inflamed like the fire to mount on high learne Faustus to flie like my sel●● as swift as thought from one kingdome to another to sit at Princes tables to eate their dain tiest fare to haue thy pleasure of their Ladyes wiues and concubines to vse all their iewels and costly robes as thinges belonging vnto thée and not vnto them learne of me Faustus to runne through walles doores and gates of stone and yron to créepe into the earth like a Worme to swim in the water like a fish to fly in the ayre like a Bird

DOctor Faustus bethinking how his time went away and how hee had spent eight yeares thereof he ment to spend the rest to his better contentment intending quite to forget any such motions as might offend the deuill any more wherefore on a time he called his Spirit Mephostophiles and said vnto him bring thou hither vnto mee thy Lord Lucifer or Behall he brought him notwithstanding one that was called Belzebub the which asked Faustus his pleasure Quoth Faustus I would know of thoe if I may see hell and take a view thereof That thou shalt said the diuell and at midnight I will fetch thée W●ll night being come Doctor Faustus awaited very diligently for the comming of the diuell to fetch him and thinking that he tarryed all too long hee went to the window where he pulled open a cazement and looking into the Element he saw a cloude in the North more blacke darker and obscure then all the rest of the skie from whence the winde blew most horrible right into Faustus his chamber and filled the whole house with smoke that Faustus was almost smothered hereat fell an excéeding thunder clap and withall came a great rugged blacke Beare all cu●led and vpon his backe a chaire of beaten gold and spake to Faustus saying sit vp and away with me and Doctor Faustus that had so long abode the smoake wisht rather to be in hell then there got on the diuell and so they went together But marke how the diuell blinded him and made him beléeue they carryed him into hell for he carryed him into the ayre where Faustus fell into a sound sléepe as if he had sate in a warme water or bath at last they came to a place which burneth continually with flashing flames of fire and brimstone where aut issued an excéeding mighty clap of thunder with so horrible a noise that Faustus awaked but the deuill went foorth on his way and carried Faustus thereinto yet notwithstanding howsoeuer it burnt D.
