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.

2. God hath said, If thou do but come to him in Christ, though your sins be as red as Scarlet, they shall be as white as Snow: and he will by no means cast thee away, (compare Isa. 1. 18. with Joh. 6. •7.) yet poor souls will not come to Christ that they might have life. (Joh. 5. 41.) but rather, after their hardness and impenitent heart, treasure up unto themselves wrath, against the day of wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgement of God. Rom. 2. 4, 5, 6.

3. Christ Jesus hath said in the word of truth, That if any man will serve and follow him, Where he is, there shall also his servant be. Joh. 12. 26. but yet poor souls choose rather to follow sin, Satan, and the world, though their companions be the devils, and damned souls for ever.
