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. Again, thou hast heard say, Unless a man be born again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, Joh. 3. 3, 5, 7.

Psal. 9. 17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the Nations that forget God.
