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.

From these words therefore which say, Remember that thou in thy life time hadst thy good things. There are these things to be taken notice of.
1. They that by putting off repentance and living in their sins lose their souls, shall instead of having the least measure of comfort, when they come into hell, have their ill spent life always very fresh in their remembrance. While they live here they can sin and forget it, but when they depart they shall have their ill spent life before them, they shall have a remembrance, or their memory ⟨p. 77⟩notably enlightened and a clearer,1 and a continual fight of all their wicked practices, that they wrought and did while they were in the world. Son, remember saith he, then you will be made to remember. 1. How you were born in sin, and brought up in the same.
