ed, all save only his end, the which was after by the students
thereunto annexed. Farther, what his servant noted thereof was made in
another book. And you have heard he held by him, in his life, the spirit
of fair Helena, who had by him one son, the which he named Justus
Faustus: even the same day of his death they vanished away, both mother
and son. The house before was so dark that scarce anybody could abide
therein. The same night Dr. Faustus appeared unto his servant lively,
and showed unto him many secret things which he had done and hidden in
his lifetime. Likewise there were certain which saw Dr. Faustus look out
of the window by night as they passed by the house.

And thus ended the whole history of Dr. Faustus, his conjuration, and
other acts that he did in his life, out of which example every Christian
may learn, but chiefly the stiff-necked and high-minded, may thereby
learn to fear God, and to be careful of their vocation, and to be at
defiance with all devilish works, as God hath most precisely forbidden.
To the end we should not invite the devil as a guest, nor give him
place, as that wicked Faustus hath done, for here we have a wicked
example of his writing, promise, and end, that we may remember him, that
we may not go astray, but take God always before our eyes, to call alone
upon him, and to honour him all the days of our life, with heart and
hearty prayer, and with all our strength and soul to glorify his holy
name, defying the devil and all his works; to the end we may remain with
Christ in all endless joy. Amen, amen. That wish I to every Christian
heart, and God's name be glorified. Amen.

THE END.
