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.

Witness also that strange kind of sweat, that trickled down his most blessed face, where it is said, And he sweat, as it were, great, mark I beseech you, great drops, or clodders of blood trickling down to the ground. O Lord Jesus, what a load didst thou carry! what a burden didst thou bear of the sins of the world, and the wrath of God! O thou didst not only bleed at nose and mouth with the pressure that lay upon thee, but thou wast so pressed, so loaden, that the pure blood gushed through the flesh and skin, and so ran trickling down to the ground, And his sweat was, as it ⟨p. 235⟩were, great drops of blood, trickling or falling down to the ground Luke 22.44. Canst thou read this, O thou wicked sinner, and yet go in sin? Canst thou think of this, and defer repentance one hour longer? O heart of flint! yea, harder. O miserable wretch! what place in hell will be hot enough for thee to have thy soul put into, if thou shalt persist, or go on still to add iniquity to iniquity?
