Sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul discovering from the 16th…

These words do not o•••• •old forth the lamentable Condition of the Damned, and their lamentable howling and crying one under their anguish of spirit, but also they do signify to us (as I said before) their too late Repentance; and also, that they would very willingly, if they might, be set at liberty from that everlasting •••ery, that by their sins they have plunged themselves into. I say, these words do hold forth a desire that the Damned have, to be delivered from those Torments that they now are in: O Father Abraham, saith he, have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my Tongue, for I am tor•••ted in this flame. These words, Father Abraham may have some difficulty in them. It is possible, that some may think them ⟨p. 51⟩to be meant of Abraham, and those; or him that crieth out here, to be the Jews. Or it may be some may understand it to be GOD, or Jesus Christ his Son, which I rather suppose it may be, that is here cried out unto, because you find the same Cry to him, as it were uttered by the ungodly in other places of the Scripture; as in Luke 13. vers. 25, 26. Then shall they say, Lord, Lord, we have eat and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. Nay more, In thy Name have we cast out Devils, and in thy Name done many wonderful Works. This was just at their rejection. And again in Matth. 25. 11. They cry again to him, even to Jesus, Lord, Lord, open to us. And he there again gives them a Repulse, as also in this Parable. But however, or whosoever Abraham is, yet these Truths may be observed from the words.
