Can anyone help me interpet this quote from Dr. Faustus?

Question

Help to save distressed Faustus' soul!

Enter LUCIFER, BELZEBUB, and MEPHISTOPHILIS.

LUCIFER. Christ cannot save thy soul, for he is just:
There's none but I have interest in the same

I dont understand what " there's " refers to above,...to Christ, to the soul, or specifically Fautus's soul? If it is Christ, that doesnt make sense because didnt he just imply Christ exists by saying Christ is just?
Thanks for any help, I need to write an essay on Faust and this is important to my work.

thanks guys , now that I reread it it seems obvious, I guess the slight difference in the way the language is used threw me off.

Answer 1

could it also mean that there is no justice? and our speaker want to build his own justice

Answer 2

These previous answers are not at all obviously right to me - seems to me it's saying "there are no souls that I don't have interest in" meaning no soul escapes Lucifer's corrupting attention. I'm not sure of this tho, not having read the rest of that page or the whole play.

Answer 3

Lucifer is chatting with Faustus. He says that Christ can not redeem him, through fact he's easy (in simple terms). there is none yet I (no one else yet me) has pastime interior a similar (needs your soul). Lucifer is offering yet another to salvation by using Christ. "Jesus does not prefer your soul, and the only different man or woman prepared to take it is me."

Answer 4

i think it means: Lucifer, Christ cannot save your soul, for he is just ( meaning fair): theres none (meaning there is none who can save you) but I have interest in the same ( meaning I am interested in you anyway). Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I think LUCIFER is saying that he ( Lucifer ) is the only one interested in Dr. Faustus' soul ; in other words : there is no one ( else ) interested in it .
