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.

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.

3. God doth commonly give up such men to delusions to believe lies. Because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved, therefore God shall send them strong delusions, that they should believe a lie. That they all might be damned, 2 Thess. 2.11, 12.
