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.

Depart ye cursed, that is, ye are cursed of God, cursed of his Law, cursed of me, cursed by the Saints, and cursed by the Angels, cursed all over, nothing but cursed, and therefore depart from me, and whither? Into everlasting fire; fire that will scald, scorch, burn, and flame to a purpose; fire that never shall be quenched, Mark 9. fire that will last to all eternity. And must we be all alone? No, you shall have company, store of company with you. Namely, all th• raging, roaring devils, together with an innumerable company of fellow⟨p. 244⟩ damned sin•ers, men, women, and children. And if the Scriptures be true, (as they will one day wonderfully appear to be) then this must, and shall be thy portion if thou live and die in this state, and of all them who continue in sinning against the truths contained in Scriptures.
As first, Dost thou delight to sin against plain commands, thou art gone?
Secondly, Dost thou slight and scorn the counsels contained in Scriptures, and continue in so doing, then thou art gone.
