To make his monks and abbots stand like apes,
And point like antiques at his triple crown:"

Jerome's Bible, Faustus, view it well.
Stipendium peccati, mors est." Ha! Stipendium,
The reward of sin is death? That's hard.
Si peccasse, negamus, fallimur, et nulla est in nobis veritas.
If we say that we have no sin

We deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us.
Why then belike we must sin,
And so consequently die.
Ay, we must die, an everlasting death.
What doctrine call you this: Che sera, sera,

What will be, shall be? Divinity, adieu.

Euill An.
Go forward, Faustus, in that famous art.

Good An.405Sweet Faustus, leave that execrable art.

Faust.
Contrition, prayer, repentance? What of these?

Good A.
O, they are means to bring thee unto heaven.

Bad A.
Rather, illusions, fruits of lunacy,
That make them foolish that do use them most.

Good A.410Sweet Faustus, think of heaven and heavenly things.

Bad A.
No, Faustus, think of honour and of wealth.Exeunt Angels

-2.2
Faust.If heaven was made for man, 'twas made for me.
I will renounce this magic and repent.

Enter the two Angels.

Good A.
Faustus, repent yet God will pity thee.

Bad A.
Thou art a spirit; God cannot pity thee.

Faust.585Who buzzeth in mine ears I am a spirit?
Be I a devil, yet God may pity me.
Yea, God will pity me if I repent.

Euill An.
Ay, but Faustus never shall repent.
