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.

6. Thou hast heard, That he that neglects Gods great salvation, shall never escape his great damnation. Heb. 2.3. compared with Luke 14.24. and Rev. 14.19, 20. And yet when thou art invited, entreated, and beseeched to come in, (Luk. 14.17, 18. 2 Cor. 5.19, 20. Rom. 12.1.) thou wilt make any excuse to serve the turn. Nay, thou wilt be so wicked, as to put off Christ time after time, notwithstanding he is so freely proffered to thee: a little ground, a few oxen, a farm, a wife, a two penny matter, a play, nay, the fear of a mock, a scoff, or a jeer, to be of greater weight to draw thee back, than the salvation of thy soul to draw thee forward.
