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.

4. When Jesus Christ shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also shall sit with him, even when he shall sit on the throne of his glory. O Will not this be glorious, that when thousands and thousands of thousands shall be arraigned before the judgement-seat of Christ, then for them to sit with him upon the throne, together with him to pass the sentence upon the ungodly, 1. Cor. 6.2, 3. Will it not be glorious to enjoy those things that eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man to conceive.
4. When Jesus Christ shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also shall sit with him, even when he shall sit on the throne of his glory.
