A few sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul. Or, An exposition of those words in the sixteenth of Luke, concerning the rich man and the beggar : wherein is discovered the lamentable state of the damned : their cries, their desires in their distresses, with the determination of God upon them. A good warning word to sinners, both old and young, to take into consideration betimes, and to seek by faith in Jesus Christ to avoid, lest they come into the same place of torment. Also a brief discourse touching the profitableness of the Scriptures for our instruction in the way of righteousness, according to the tendency of the said parable. / By that poor and contemptible servant of Jesus Christ, John Bunyan.A few sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul.

4. Another part of thy torment will be this, thou shalt see thy friends, thy acquaintance, thy neighbours; nay, it ⟨p. 48⟩may be thy father, thy mother, thy wife, thy husband, thy children, thy brother, thy sister with others in the kingdom of heaven, and thy self thrust out. And this is that, that Christ told the Jews would befall them in Luke 13.28. There shall be weeping, &c. when you shall see Abraham (your father) and Isaac, and Jacob, (together with your brethren) the Prophets in the kingdom of heaven, and your selves thrust out. Nay, saith he, There shall come from the East, and from the West, that is, those that thou didst never see in all thy life before, and they shall sit down with thy friends, and thy neighbours, thy wife and thy children in the kingdom of heaven, and thou for thy sins and disobedience shalt be shut, nay, thrust out. O wonderful torment!
