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.

Lazarus it may be, might have done him some good, […] he might have been entertained in time past, […] might have persuaded him at least not to have gone on so grievously wicked, but he slights him, he will not regard him, he is resolved to disown him, though he lose his Soul for so doing. I, but now send Lazarus, if not to me, yet ⟨p. 85⟩to my fathers house, and let him tell them from me, That if they run on in sin, as I have done, they must and shall receive the same wages that I have received.

Take notice of this, you that are despisers of the least of the Lazarus's of our Lord Jesus Christ: it may be now you are loath to receive these little ones of his, because they are not Gentlemen, because they cannot with Pontius Pilate speak Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Nay, they must not, shall not speak to them, to admonish them, and all because of this.
