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.

Some People are so deluded by the Devil, as to think that God is so merciful, as to own or regard any thing for prayer; They think any thing will go for currant and good satisfaction, while they are here in this World, through ignorance of the true nature of the Mercy of GOD, and the knowledge in what way God is satisfied for Sinners. Now I say, through ignorance they think, that if they do but mutter over some form of prayers, though they know not what they say, not what they request, yet God is satisfied, yea, very well satisfied with their doings; when alas! there is nothing less. O Friends, I beseech you to look about you, and seek in good earnest for the Spirit of Christ, so to help you now, •o strive and pray, and to enable you to lay hold of Christ, that your Souls may be saved, lest the time come, that though you cry and p•ay, and wish also that you •ad •••d hold on the Lord Jesus, yet you must, and shall be damned.
