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.

6. Thou hast heard, That he that neglects Gods great salvation, shall never escape his great damnation, Heb. 2. 3. compared with Luke 14. 24. and Rev. 14. 19, 20. And yet when thou art invited, entreated, and beseeched to come in, (Luke 14. 17, 18. 2 Cor. 5. 19, 20. Rom. 12. 1.) thou wilt make any excuse to serve the turn. Nay, thou wilt be so wicked, as to put off Christ time after time, notwithstanding he is so freely proffered to thee: a little ground, a few Oxen, a Farm, a Wife, a two penny matter, a Play; nay, the fear of a mock, a scoff, or a jeer, is of greater weight to draw thee back, than the Salvation of thy Soul to draw thee forward.
