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. And yet thou goest on in a natural state; an unregenerate condition, nay, thou dost resolve never to turn not be changed, though hell be appointed on purpose to swallow up such, Isa. 14. 9. Psal. 9. 17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the Nations that forget God.

4. Again, the Scripture saith plainly, That he that loveth and maketh a lye, shall have his part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone, Rev. 21. 8, 27. And yet thou art so far from dreading it, that it is thy delight to jest and jeer, and lye for a penny or two pence, or •ix pence gain. And also if thou canst make the rest of thy companions merry, by telling things that are false of them that are better then thy self, thou dost not care a straw. Or if thou hearest a lye from, or of another, thou wilt tell it, and swear to the truth of it. O miserable!
