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.

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.

Send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.
Thus shall the souls that abide in their sins, cry out in the bitterness of their spirits, with wonderful anguish and torment of conscience, without intermission▪ that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. That he, namely, the man who before I scorned should eat with the dogs of my flock, that before I slighted and had no regard of, that I shut out of door, send him, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue.
