This is from Faustus, by Christopher Marlowe. If you have choices it would be a good idea to list them. These lines are said to Mephistopheles, who is a devil pretty high up in "the organization."
The Catholic Church was taking a bit a beating at the time (Marlowe was part of the Renaissance movement), and so he his making the comment that an old Franciscan Friar would suit a devil best. It is credited with being comic relief.
Frankly I don't find it so, but if it is one of your answers, take it.
