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.

Again, you may observe from these words, And in hell he lift up his eyes being in torment. That the time of the ungodly mens smarting for their sins, will be in the torments of hell. Now here I am put to a stand, when I consider the torments of hell, into which the damned do fall. O unspeakable torments! O endless torments! Now that ⟨p. 37⟩thy soul might be made to slay from these intolerable torments, into which the damned do go. I shall show you briefly what are the torments of hell. First, by the names of it. Secondly, by the sad state thou wilt be in, if thou comest there. First, the names: It is called a never dying worm, Mark 9. It is called an oven, fire hot, Malach. 4. 1. It is called a furnace, a fiery furnace, Mat. 13. It is called the bottomless pit, the unquenchable fire, fire and brimstone, hell fire, the lake of fire, devouring fire, everlasting fire, eternal fire, a stream of fire. Rev. 21.
