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.

Mark, lest they come in, as if he had said, or else they will come into this place of torment, as sure as I am here. From whence observe. That though some souls for sin do fall into the bottomless pit of hell before their fellows, because they depart this world before them; yet the other abiding in the same course, are as sure to go to the same place, as if they were there already.
