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.

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.

Again, this thou shalt have, as I said before, without any intermission, thou shalt not have any ease so long as while a man may turn himself round: thou shalt have it always every hour, day ⟨p. 50⟩and night: for their worm never dies, but always gnaws, and their fire is never quenched. As it is written in Mark 9.
