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.

But again, Thou supposest that Miracles and Wonders will work more on them, which makes thee say, Send one from the Dead. But herein thou art mistaken, for I have proved them with that once and again, by more than one, or two, or three of my Servants. How many Miracles did my Servant Moses work by Commandment from me in the Land of Egypt, at the Red-Sea, and in the Wilderness; yet they of that Generation were never the sooner converted for that, but notwithstanding rebelled and lusted, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt, Act. 7. How many Miracles did Samuel, David, Elijah, Elisha, Daniel, and the Prophets, together with my Son, who raised the Dead, cast out Devils, made them to see that were born blind, gave and restored Limbs, yet for all this (as I said before) they hated him, they crucified him. I raised him again from the Dead, and he appeared to his Disciples who were called, and chosen, and faithful, and he gave them Commandment and Commission, to go and testify the Truth of this to the World; and to confirm the same, he enabled them to speak with divers Tongues, and to w••k M••acles most plentifully; yet there was great persecution raised against them, insomuch that but a few of them died in their beds. And therefore, though thou thinkest that a Miracle will do so much with the World, yet I say, No: For if they will not believe Moses ⟨p. 173⟩and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one should rise from the Dead.
