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.

4. Again the Scriptures saith plainly, That he that loveth and maketh a lie, shall have his part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone. Rev. 21.8, 27. And yet thou art so far from dreading it, that it is thy delight to jest and jeer, and lye for a penny or two pence or six pence gain. And also if thou canst make the rest of thy companions merry, by telling things that are false of them that are better then thy self, thou dost not care a straw. Or if thou hearest a lie from, or of another, thou wilt tell it, and swear to the truth of it. O miserable!

5. Thou hast heard and read, That he that believes not, shall be damned. Mar. 16.16. And that all men have not faith. 2 Thess. 3.2. and yet thou dost so much disregard these things, that it is like thou didst scarce ever so much as examine seriously whether thou wert ⟨p. 165⟩in the faith or no; but dost content thy self with the hypocrites hope, which at the last God will cut off, and count it no better then the spiders web.
