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.

2. Observe, those that die in their sins are far from going to heaven. He seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his ⟨p. 52⟩bosom. And indeed it is just with God to deal with them that die in their sins, according to what they have done; and to make them who are far from righteousness now, to stand far from heaven to all eternity. Hearken to this ye stout hearted, that are far from righteousness, and that are resolved to go on in your sins; when you die, you will be far from heaven; you will see Lazarus, but it will be afar off. Again, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. These are some of the things that the damned do behold, so soon as they come into torment. Mark, And he seeth Lazarus in Abraham's bosom. Lazarus, who was he? Why, even he that was so slighted, so disregarded, so undervalued by this ungodly one while he was in the world; he seeth Lazarus in his bosom.

From whence observe, That those who live and the die enemies of the Saints of God; let them be never so great or stout; let them bear never so much sway while they are in the world; let them brag and boast never so much while they are here, they shall in spite of their teeths see the Saints, yea, the
