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 observe,
1. That the Life of the Saints, so long as they are in this World, is attended with many Evils or Afflictions, which may be discovered to be of divers Natures, as saith the Scripture. Many are the troubles of the Righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of all.
2. Take notice, that the Afflictions or Evils, that accompany the Saints, may continue with them their Life-time, so long as they live in this Vale of Tears; Yea, and they may be divers, that is, of several sorts; some outward, some inward, and that as long as they shall continue here below, as hath been the Experience of all Saints in all Ages; and this might be proved at large, but I ⟨p. 71⟩only hint in these Things, although I might enlarge much upon them.
