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 May not the messengers of Jesus Christ also come in with a shrill and terrible note against thy soul, when thou standest at the bar of Gods Justice, saying, Nay, thou ungodly one, but how often hast thou been forewarned of this day? Did we not sound an alarm in thine ears, by the trumpet of Gods word day after day? How often didst thou hear us tell thee of these things? Did we not tell thee sin would damn thy soul? Did we not tell thee, that without conversion there was no salvation? Did we not tell thee, that they who loved their sins, should be damned at this dark and gloomy day, (as thou art like to be.) Yet did we not tell thee, that God out of his love to sinners sent Christ to die for them, that they might (by coming to him) be saved? Did we not tell thee of these things? Did ⟨p. 227⟩we not run, ride, labour, and strive abundantly (if it might have been) for the good of thy soul, (though now a damned soul? Did we not venture our goods, our names, our lives? Yea, did we not even kill our selves with our earnest entreatings of thee to consider of thine estate, and by Christ to escape this dreadful day? O sad doom! when thou shalt be forced full sore against thy will to fall under the truth of this judgement, saying, O how have I hated instruction, a•d how hath my heart despised reproof? for indeed) I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me, Proverbs 5.11, 12, 13.
