_The second Question put forth by Dr. Faustus to his Spirit, what
Kingdoms were in Hell, how many, and what were the Rulers' names._
Faustus spake again to his spirit, saying, "Thou speakest of wonderful
things: I pray thee now tell me what kingdoms are there in your hell?
How many are there? What they are called? And who rules them?"
The spirit answered him: "My Faustus, know that hell is, as thou wouldst
think with thyself, another world, in the which we have our being under
the earth, even to the heavens; within the circumference whereof are
contained ten kingdoms, namely, 1. Lacus Mortis. 2. Stagnum Ignis.
3. Terra Tenebrosa. 4. Tartarus. 5. Terra Oblivionis. 6. Gehenna.
7. Erebus. 8. Barathrum. 9. Styx. 10. Acheron. The which kingdoms are
governed by five kings, that is, Lucifer in the Orient, Belzebub in
Septentrio, Belial in Meredie, Ascheroth in the Occident, and Phlegeton
in the midst of them all; whose rules and dominions have no end until
the day of doom; and thus far, Faustus, hast thou heard of our rule and
kingdom."
