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, That which will add to all the rest, Thou shalt have the very Mercy of GOD, the Blood of Christ, the Preachers of the Word, together with every Sermon; all the Promises, Invitations, Exhortations, and all the Counsels and Threatenings of the Blessed Word of God: Thou shalt have all thy Thoughts, Words, and Actions, together with all thy Food, thy Raiment, thy ⟨p. 120⟩sleep▪ thy Goods, and also all hours, days, weeks, Months, and Years, together with whatsoever else God hath given thee; I say, thy abuse of all these shall come up in Judgment against thy Soul. For God will reckon with thee for every thing, whether it be good or bad, Eccles. 12. 14.

5. Nay farther, it is so unreasonable a thing for a sinner to refuse the Gospel, that the very Devils themselves will come in against thee, as well as Sodom that Damned Crew: May not they, I say, come in against thee, and say, O thou simple man! O vile Wretch! that had not so much care of thy Soul, thy precious Soul, as the Beast hath of his Young, or the Dog of the very Bone that lieth before him. Was thy Soul worth so much, and didst thou so little regard it? Were the Thunder-Claps of the Law so terrible, and didst thou so slight them? Besides, was the Gospel so freely, so frequently, so fully tendered to thee, and yet hast thou rejected all these Things?
