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.

Ver. 30. And he said, nay Father Abraham, but if one went unto them from the dead, they would repent.
The verse before, you know, as I told you, it was part of an answer to such as lose their souls, so it is a vindication of the Scriptures of Moses and the Prophets, where he saith, They have Moses and the Prophets let them hear them; as if he had said, they should have closed in with the tenders of mercy held out by Moses, Samuel, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, together with the rest of the glorious, & certain truths that I moved them to utter and hold forth in their generation, to the world, and also ⟨p. 154⟩which they have left on record both for the warning, comfort, and reproof of them who in after ages should come into the world, both by holding forth the state of man by nature, how miserable it was, and by holding out the mercy and grace of God, and how large that was: and also, how free God is and ever was to save them, that did come the right way to him, namely by Christ: together with the lamentable and sad state that those were, and are, and shall be in, that did turn their backs on what they did then speak, and afterwards leave on record for the good of succeeding generations; if they would, or v ill be blessed that are yet alive, let them own them, clo•e in with that which is held forth by them, namely the Messias, or Jesus, that came from heaven to earth on purpose to lay down his life for the rebellious, (as I said before.)
