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. Consider thus with thy self, not only my sins against the law will be laid to my charge, but also the sins I have committed in slighting the gospel, the glorious Gospel; these also must come with a voice against me. As thus, Nay, he is worthy to be damned, for he rejected the Gospel, he undervalued the Gospel, he slighted the free grace of God tendered in the Gospel. How many times wast thou (damned wretch) invited, entreated beseeched to come to Christ, to accept of mercy, that thou mightest have heaven, thy sins pardoned, thy soul saved, and body and soul glorified, and all this for nothing but the acceptance, and through faith forsaking those imps of Satan, which by their embracements have drawn thee downward toward the gulf of Gods eternal displeasure.
