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.

Be of good cheer, thy sins are forgiven thee. I will never leave thee nor forsake thee, (for) I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Jer. 31.3. I lay down my life for my sheep; I lay down my life, that they might have life. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee. 2 Cor. 6.2. Though their sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be as crimson, they shall be as wool. For I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy transgressions, and as a cloud ⟨p. 175⟩thy sins; return unto me, for I have redeemed thee, Isa. 44.22.
