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.

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.

Though now a Gospel-Sermon of the Lord Jesus Christ may be preached to them in English, freely, and for nothing; nay, they are now desired to hear and receive it, and they will do him that preacheth a courtesy. I say, though ⟨p. 104⟩now they will not own; regard, or embrace these Christian proffers of the glorious truth of Jesus, because they come out of some of the basest earthen vessels: yet the time is coming when they will both sigh and cry, seed him to my Fathers house. I say, remember this ye that despise the day of small things; the time is coming, when you would be glad, if you might enjoy from God, from Christ, or his Saints, one small drop of cold water: though now you are unwilling to receive the glorious distilling drops of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus.
