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.

Verse 19.
This Scripture was not spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ, to show you the state of two single persons only, (as some through their ignorance of the drift of Christ in his Parables, do dream) but to show you the state of the godly and ungodly to the Worlds end; as is clear to him that is of an understanding heart. For he spake them to the end, that after Generations should take notice thereof, and fear, lest they also fell into the same condition.

Now, in my discourse upon these words, I shall not be tedious, but as briefly as I may, I shall pass through the several Verses, and lay you down some of the several truths contained therein: and the Lord grant that they may be profitable, and of great advantage to those that read them, or hear them read.
