Answer:

Mephistopheles says these words to Faustus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mephistopheles refers to the damage he could infringe upon others on the physical plane since he could never damage anyone's soul if this hasn't being used in a deal with Lucifer. He in his position of servant uses this word to remind that to Faustus as he asked him to punish and old man for his disrespectful words.
