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.

From whence again observe, That there is a time coming, O ye surly dogged persecutors of the Saints, that they shall slight you as much as ever you slighted them. You have given them many an hard word, told many a lie of them, given them many a blow: And now in your greatest need and extremity they shall not pity you. The Righteous shall rather rejoice when he seeth the vengeance of God upon thee, Psal. 58. 10.

Again, Send Lazarus. From whence observe, That any of the Saints shall then be owned by you to be Saints. Now ye look upon them to be of the Sect with Hymeneus and Philetus, but then you shall see them to be the Lazarus's of God, even Gods dear Children. Though now the Saints of the Lord will not be owned by you, because they ⟨p. 56⟩are beggarly, poor, low, contemptible among you, yet the day is coming that you shall own them, desire their company, and wish for the least courtesy from them.
