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.

What forewarning is here.
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke, then a great ransom cannot deliver thee, Job 36. 18. Be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong for I have heard from the Lord God of Hosts, a Consumption even determined on the whole Earth. Isa. 28. 22. Beware therefore, lest that come upon you that is written: Behold ye despisers, and wonder and perish. For behold I work a work in your days, which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you, Act. 13. 40. 41. Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall. 1 Cor. 10. 12. Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. Luke 22. 40. Let us fear therefore, lest a promise being made, or left us, of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Heb. 4. 1. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the Lord having saved the people out of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
