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.

5. And all this, lest they should hear and close in with Jesus and live, and be delivered from the wrath to come, all which things do hold out an unwillingness to submit to, and embrace the words of God; and so Jesus Christ ⟨p. 160⟩which is testified of by them. Many other Scriptures I might bring in for confirmation of the thing, as that in Amos 7.12, 13. also 2 Sam. 2.24, 25. 2 Chron. 25.15, 16. Jer. 7.23, 24, 25, 26, 27. and Chap, 16, 12.
