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.

As first, this will show us that all your Drunkards, Whoremasters, Liars, Thieves, Swearers, Back-biters, Slanderers, Scoffers at goodness, &c. I say, we may see by this, that they that live in such things, have not the faith of the things contained in their hearts; seeing they delight to practise those things that are forbidden by, and in them. And so they continuing living and dying in this state, we may conclude without fear, that such portions of holy Scripture belong unto them, and shall for certain be fulfilled upon them. He that believes not, shall be damned, Mark. 16. ⟨p. 243⟩16. The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God, 1. Corinthians 6.9, 10. But the abominable, the unbelieving, the whoremongers, and all liars shall have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone, Revelation 21.8. Depart ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels, Matthew 25.41. Depart, that is, as if he should say, Depart from me, for I will not save you. Depart, for my blood shall not at all wash you. Depart, for you shall not set one foot into the kingdom of heaven.
