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.

And therefore to encourage thee while thou art here with comfort, to hold on for all thy crosses in this thy journey, be much in considering the place that thou must go into, so soon as dissolution comes. It must be into heaven, to God the Judge of all, to an innumerable company of Angels, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to the general Assembly, and Church of the first born, whose names are written in heaven, and to Jesus (too the Redeemer) who is the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things for thee, ⟨p. 240⟩then Abel's did for Cain, Hebrews 12.22, 23, 24.
And therefore to incourage thee while thou art here with comfort, to hold on for all thy crosses in this thy journey, be much in considering the place that thou must go into, so soon as dissolution comes. It must be into heaven, to God the Judge of all, to an innumerable company of Angels, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to the general Assembly, and Church of the first born, whose names are written in heaven, and to Jesus (too the Redeemer) who is the Mediatour of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things for thee, ⟨p. 240⟩then Abels did for Cain, Hebrews 12.22, 23, 24.
3. Consider, that when the time of the dead that they shall be raised is come then shall thy body be raised out of the grave, and be glorified, and be made like to Jesus Christ, Phil. 3.21. O excellent condition.
