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. Forewarning. What forewarning is here.
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke, then a great ransom cannot deliver thee, Job 36.18. Be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong, for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption even determined on the whole earth. Isa. 28.22. Beware therefore lest that come upon you that is written: Behold ye despisers, and wonder and perish. For behold I work a work in your days which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you, Act. 13.40, 41. Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall, 1 Cor. 10.12. Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation, Luke 22.40. ⟨p. 174⟩Let us fear therefore, lest a promise being made, or left us, of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Heb. 4.1. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the Lord having saved the people out of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. Jude 5. Hold fast that thou hast, let no man take thy Crown, Rev. 3.11.
