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.

As if he should say, What need have they, that one should be sent to them from the dead? what need have they of such a thing? Have they not Moses and the Prophets? hath not Moses told them the danger of living in sin, Deut. 27. from ver. 15. to ver. 26. And chap. 28.15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. &c. to the end of the chapter, also ch. 29.18, 19, 20, 21. hath he not there told them what a sad state these persons are in, that deceive themselves with the deceit of their hearts, saying, They shall have peace though they follow their sins in these words. And when he heareth the words of this curse, he bless himself in his heart, saying, ⟨p. 150⟩I sh•ll have peace, though I go on, or walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst. The Lord will not spare that man, but then the anger of the Lord▪ and his jealousy shall smoke against him, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lye upon him: and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.
