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.

Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not. Why, what is it? Blessed is the man that heareth me, (saith Christ) watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors: For who so findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord. Prov. 8.32, 33, 34, 35. Take heed that no man deceive you by any means. Labour not for the meat that perisheth, but for that which ⟨p. 173⟩endureth unto everlasting life. Joh. 6.27. Strive to enter in at the strait gate, Luke 13.24. Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved. Act. 16.31. Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits. Quench not the spirit. Lay hold on eternal life. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Mat. 5.16. Take heed and beware of hypocrisy; watch and be sober. Learn of me (saith Christ.) Come unto me.
