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.

As first, Turn ye fools, ye scorners, ye simple ones at my reproof; and behold I will pour out my spirit upon you. Prov. 1.24. And yet persons had rather be in their foolishness and scorning still, and had rather embrace some filthy lust then the holy, undefiled, and blessed Spirit of Christ through the promise, though by it, as many as receive it, are sealed unto the day of redemption, Eph. 4.30. And although he that lives and dies without it, is none of Christs, Rom. 8.9.

2. God hath said, If thou do but come to him in Christ, though your sins be as red as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow: and he will by no means cast thee away, (compare Isa. 1.18. with Job 6.37.)
