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. Because he hath not only said, they shall not, but also hath bound it with an oath, saying, So I sware in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest, Heb. 3. 11. To whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest? Answer, To them that believed not, So we see, they could not enter in, because of unbelief, verse 18, 19.
Secondly, this will teach us what to think and conclude of such, who though they do not so openly ⟨p. 195⟩discover their folly by open and gross sins against the Law, yet will give more heed to their own spirits, and the movings thereof, though they be neither commanded, nor commended for the same in Scripture; nay, though the Scripture command and commend the contrary, Isaiah 8. 20. then they will to the holy and revealed will of God. I say, such men are in as bad a state as the other to the full, being disobedient to Gods will revealed in his Word, as well as they, though in a different manner; the one openly transgressing against the plain and well known truths revealed in it; the other, though more close and hidden, yet secretly rejecting and slighting them, giving more heed to their own spirits, and the motion thereof, although not warranted by the Scriptures.
A few words more, and so I shall conclude.
