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.

5. Again, thou shalt have none but a company of damned souls, with an innumerable company of huge 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 ⟨p. 49⟩of the devils appearing, but the real society of all the devils in hell to be with thee howling and roaring, screeching and yelling 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 tormente• 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 drops, no, 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.
