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 you see this is to ⟨p. 80⟩be observed, that the ungodly shall remember, or have in remembrance the misspending their lives, and that I gather from these words, Remember that in thy life time thou hadst thy good things. You may take these words good things either simply, for the things of this world, which in themselves are called and may be called good things, or else with these words, namely, (the things of this life) all the pleasures, delights, profits, and vanities, which the ignorant people of the world do count their good things, and do very much cheer themselves therewith. Soul, soul, eat, drink and be merry, for thou hast much goods laid up for many years. Luke 12.20. Now I say, God according to his glorious power and wisdom will make poor creatures have always in their minds a fresh and clear remembrance of their ill spent life; he will say unto them, Remember, remember that in thy life time, it was thus and thus with thee, and in thy life time thy carriage was so and so.
