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.

Think thus with thy self; What▪ shall I lose a long Heaven for short pleasure? shall I buy the pleasures of this world at so dear a rate, as to lose my soul for the obtaining of that? Shall I content my self with a Heaven, that will last no longer than my life▪time? What advantage will these be to me, when the Lord shall separate soul and body asunder, and send one to the grave, the other to hell, and at the Judgement-day, the final Sentence of eternal ruin must be past upon me?
