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.

Secondly, Dost thou slight and scorn the counsels contained in Scriptures, and continue in so doing, then thou art gone.
Thirdly, Dost thou continually neglect to come to Christ, and usest arguments in thine own heart to satisfy thy soul with so doing, then thou art gone? Luke 14.17, 18. compared with verse 24. and Hebrews 2.3. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? How shall we escape, that is, t•ere is no way to escape.
Thirdly, Dost thou continually neglect to come to Christ, and usest arguments in thine own heart to satisfie thy soul with so doing, then thou art gone? Luke 14.17, 18. compared with verse 24. and Hebrews 2.3. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? How shall we escape, that is, t•ere is no way to escape.
First, because God hath said we shall not, Heb. 12.25. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh, for if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth (that ⟨p. 245⟩was Moses) much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven.
