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.

I say, look to thy self, lest thou cry out when it is too late; O send Lazarus to my people, my friends, my children, my congregation to whom I preached, and beguiled through my folly. Send him to the town in which I did preach last, lest I be the cause of their damnation. Send him to my friends from whence I came, lest I be made to answer for their soul and mine own too, Ezek. 33.1.2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

O send him therefore, and let him tell them, and testify unto them lest they also come into this place of torment. Consider this ye that live in the world, while you are in the land of the living, lest you fall into this condition. Set case thou shouldest by thy carriage destroy but a soul, but one poor soul, by one of thy carriages, or actions, by thy sinful works; consider it now, I say, lest thou be forced to cry, I pray thee therefore, that thou wouldest send him to my fathers house for I have five brethren, that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
