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.

3. Christ Jesus hath said in the word of truth, That if any man will serve and follow him, Where he is, there shall also his servant be, Joh. 12.26. but yet poor souls choose rather to follow sin, Satan, and the world, though their companions be the devils and damned souls for ever. Mat. 25.41.

4. He hath also said,1 Seek first the kingdom of God and all other things shall be added. But let whoso will seek after the kingdom of heaven, in the first place, for them; For they will take time while time serves to get the things of this life for them and their seed, while it is to be had: And if it be so that they must needs seek after heaven, or else be damned in hell, they will stay till they have more leisure, till they can better attend to it; till they have other things handsome about them; till they are older; when they have little else to do; or when they come to be sick, and to die. Then Lord have mercy upon them; though it be ten thousand to one but they perish for ever.
