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.

How often didst thou read the promises, yea the free promises of the common salvation? How oft didst thou ⟨p. 218⟩read the sweet counsels and admonitions of the Gospel to accept of the grace of God, but thou wouldst not, thou regardest it not, thou didst slight all.

2. As I would have thee to consider the sad and woeful state of those that die out of Christ, and are past all recovery; so would I have thee consider the many mercies and privileges thou enjoyest above some (peradventure) of thy companions that are departed to their proper place.
