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.

Besides, his soul went down to hell, Psal. 16.10. Acts 2.31. and his body to the bars of the grave. And had hell, death, or the grave been strong enough to hold him▪ then he had suffered the vengeance of eternal fire to all eternity. But O blessed Jesus! how didst thou discover thy love to man in thy thus suffering? And O God the Father! how didst thou also declare thy purity and exactness of thy justice, in that, though it was thine only, holy, innocent, harmless, and undefiled Son Jesus, that did take on him our nature, and represent our persons, answering for our sins instead of our selves: thou didst so wonderfully pour out thy wrath upon ⟨p. 236⟩him, to the making of him cry out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And O Lord Jesus! what a glorious conquest hast thou made over the enemies of our souls, even wrath, sin, death, hell, and devils in that thou didst wring thy self from under the power of them all? and not only so, but hast led them captive, which would have led us captive; and also hast received for us that glorious and unspeakable inheritance, That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive. And also hast given thine some discovery thereof through thy Spirit.
