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.

Or how is it with thy soul? Art thou such an one as regards not these things? but rather busy thy thoughts about the things here below, following those things that have no scent of divine glory upon them; If so, look to thy self, thou art an unbeliever, and so under the wrath of God, and wilt for certain fall into the same place of torment that thy fellows have fallen into before thee, to the grief of thy own soul, and thy everlasting destruction.
Consider and regard these things, and lay them to thy heart before it be too late to recover thy self, by repenting of the one, and desiring to close in with the other. O I say, regard, regard, for hell is hot, Gods hand is up, the Law is resolved ⟨p. 192⟩to discharge against thy soul; the Judgment day is at hand; the graves are ready to fly open, the […] is nea• […] •ounding, the sentence will •re long be p•st, and then you and I cannot call •im• again.
