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.

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!
5. Thou hast heard and read, That he that believes not, shall be damned, Mark 16. 16. And that all men have not Faith, 2 Thess. 3. 2. and yet thou ⟨p. 152⟩dost so much disregard these things, that it is like thou didst scarce ever so much as examine seriously whether thou wert in the faith or no; but dost content thy self with the Hypocrites hope, which at the last God will cut off, and count it no better then the spiders web, Job 8. 13, 14. or the house that is builded on the sands, Luke 6. 49. Nay, thou peradventure dost flatter thy self, and thinkest that thy Faith is as good as the best of them all, when alas poor soul, thou mayest have no saving faith at all; which thou hast not, if thou be not born again and made a new Creature, 2. Cor. 2▪ 17.
