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.

3. Consider, That when the time of the dead that they shall be raised is come, then shall thy body be raised out of the grave, and be glorified, and be made like to Jesus Christ, Phil. 3. 21. O excellent condition.
4. When Jesus Christ shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also shall sit with him, even when he shall sit on the throne of his glory. O will not this be glorious, that when thousands, and thousands of thousands shall be arraigned before the Judgment-seat of Christ, then for them to sit with him upon the throne, together with him to pass the sentence upon the ungodly, 1 Cor. 6. 2. 3. Will it not be glorious to enjoy those things that eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man to conceive.
