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.

Lazarus it may be, might have done him some good, if he might have been ⟨p. 103⟩entertained in time past: It may be God might have used him as an instrument to do this ungodly wretch, some good, and might have persuaded him at least not to have gone on so grievously wicked: but he slights him, he will not regard him, he is resolved to disown him, though he lose his soul for so doing. I, but now send Lazarus, if not to me, yet to my father house, and let him tell them from me, that if they run on in sin, as I have done, they must and shall receive the same wages that I have received.
Lazarus it may be, might have done him some good, if he might have been ⟨p. 103⟩entertained in time past: It may be God might have used him as an instrument to do this ungodly wretch, some good, and might have perswaded him at least not to have gone on so grievously wicked: but he slights him, he will not regard him, he is resolved to disown him, though he lose his soul for so doing. I, but now send Lazarus, if not to me, yet to my father house, and let him tell them from me, that if they run on in sin, as I have done, they must and shall receive the same wages that I have received.
Take notice of this, you that are despisers of the least of the Lazarus's of our Lord Jesus Christ: it may be now you are loath to receive these little ones of his, because they are not Gentlemen, because they cannot with Pontius Pilate speak Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Nay, they must not, shall not speak to them, admonish them and all because of this.
