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 30. And he said, nay Father Abraham, but if one went unto them from the dead, they would repent.
The Verse before, you know, as I told you, it was part of an answer to such as lose their souls, so it is a vindication of the Scriptures of Moses and the Prophets▪ They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.
THe Verse before, you know, as I told you, it was part of an answer to such as lose their souls, so it is a vindication of the Scriptures of Moses and the Prophets▪ They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.
Now this Verse is an answer to what was said in the former, and such an one as hath in it a rejection of the former answer. Nay Father Abraham. Nay saith he, do not say so, do not put them off with this; send one from the dead, and then there will be some hopes. 'Tis true, thou speakest of the Scriptures of Moses and the Prophets and sayest, let them hear them; but these things are not so well as I could wish, I had rather thou wouldst send one from the dead. In these words therefore, Nay, Father Abraham, there is a repulse given. Nay, let it not be so. Nay, I do not like of that answer; Hear Moses and the Prophets? nay. The same expression is used by Christ, Luke 13. 2, 3. Think you▪ that they upon whom the ••ower of Silo fell, were sinners above others? I tell you nay, for except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. So here, Nay Father Abraham, &c.
