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.

5. Grief to those that fall short. O sad grief.
How have I hated instruction, and mine heart despised reproof, and have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me, Prov. 7.11, 12, 13. They shall curse their king and their God, and look upwards. And they shall look to the earth, and behold trouble and darkness, and dimness of anguish: and they shall be driven into darkness, Isa. 8. ver. 21, 22. He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor, his righteousness endureth for ever.—The wicked shall see it, and be grieved, he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish, Psal. 112.9, 10.
