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.

1. Such souls do provoke God to anger, and to execute his vengeance on them. They refused to hearken, they pulled away their shoulder, they stopped their ears lest they should hear the law, and they made their hearts adamant stone, that they might not hear the law, and the words that were spoken to them by his spirit in the former prophets: Therefore came a great wrath upon them. Zach. 7.11, 12.

2. God will not regard in their calamity. Because I called and ye refused, I stretched out my hand & no man regarded, but set at nought all my counsels, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamities, and mock when your fear cometh. When their fear cometh as ⟨p. 184⟩desolation, and their destruction, like a whirlwind. Then shall they call, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me, Proverbs, 1.25, 26, 27.
