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.

Here then before we go any further you may see, that it is not without good ground that these words are here spoken ⟨p. 59⟩by our Lord, That when any of the ungodly do depart into hell, they will will cry. Cry, why so?
1. They will cry to think, that they should be cut off from the Land of the living, never more to have any footing therein.
2. They will cry to think, that the Gospel of Christ should be so often proffered them, and yet they are not profited by it.
2. They will cry to think, that the Gospel of Christ should be so often profered them, and yet they are not profited by it.
3. They will cry to think, that now though they would never so willingly repent and be saved, yet they are past all recovery.
