Sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul discovering from the 16th of Luke the lamentable state of the damned : and may fitly serve as a warning-word to sinners, both old and young, by faith in Jesus Christ, to avoid the same place of torment : with a discovery of the usefulness of the Scriptures as our safe conduct for avoiding the torments of hell / by John Bunyan.

These are some of the things that the damned do behold, so soon as they come into torment. Mark, And he seeth Lazarus in Abraham's Bosom. Lazarus, Who was he?

He that was in darkness, or he that was in light? He that was in everlasting joy, or he that was in everlasting torments? The one with God, Christ, Saints, Angels: the other in tormenting flames, under the curse of Gods eternal hatred, with the Devils and their Angels, together with an innumerable company of howling, roaring, cursing, ever burning Reprobates.
