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.

5. Again, thou shalt have none but a company of damned souls, with an innumerable company of devils to keep company with thee. While thou art in this World, the very thoughts of the devils appearing to thee makes thy flesh to tremble, and thine hair ready to stand upright on thy head. But O what wilt thou do, when not only the supposition of the devils appearing, but the real society of all the devils in hell be with thee howling and roaring, screeching and roaring in such a hideous manner, that thou wilt be even at thy wits end, and be ready to run stark mad again for anguish and torment.
6. Again, that thou mightest be tormented to purpose, the mighty God of heaven will lay as great wrath and vengeance upon thee, as ever he can, by the might of his glorious power. As I said before, Thou shalt have his wrath, not by ⟨p. 41⟩drops, but by whole showers shall it come thunder, thunder upon thy body and soul so fast, and so thick, that thou shalt be tormented out of measure. And so saith the Scripture, 2 Thes. 1. 9. speaking of the wicked, Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power, when the Saints shall be admiring his goodness and glory.
