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.

2. Again, the Scripture saith, He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed and that without remedy, Prov. 29.1. Yet many are so far from turning, though they have been convinced of their wretched state an hundred times; that when convictions or trouble for sin comes on their consciences, they go on still in the same manner resisting and choking the same, though remediless destruction be hard at their heels.

And yet thou goest on in a natural ⟨p. 164⟩state, an unregenerate condition, nay, thou dost resolve never to turn nor be changed, though hell be appointed on purpose to swallow up such, Isa. 14.9. Psal. 9.17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
3. Again, thou hast heard say, Ʋnless a man be borne again, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.
