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.

He is condemned as well as they, having broken the same law with them: if so, then what hinders, but they will partake of the same destruction with them? only the one hath not the law yet so executed upon them, because they are here; the other have had the law executed upon them, they are gone to drink that which they have been brewing, ⟨p. 132⟩and thou art brewing that in this life, which thou must certainly drink, if thou be not found in Jesus Christ. Mark, the same law I say, is in force against you both, only he is executed, and thou art not. Just as if there were a company of prisoners at the bar, and all condemned to die; what, because they are not all executed in one day, therefore shall they not be executed at all? Yes, the same law that executed its severity upon the parties now deceased, will for certain be executed on them that are alive in its appointed time: Even so it is here, we are all condemned by nature, if we close not in with the grace of God by Jesus Christ, we must and shall be destroyed with the same destruction; and therefore, send him (saith he) lest. Mark, lest they come into this place of torment.
