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.

The former verses do briefly hold forth the carriage of of the ungodly in this life toward the Saints. Now this Verse doth hold forth the departure both of the godly and ⟨p. 20⟩the ungodly out of this life.

Where he saith, And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried into Abraham's bosom: and the rich man died also.] The beggar died, that represents the godly: and the rich man died, that represents the ungodly; from whence observe. Neither godly •or ungodly must live always without a change, either by death or judgement; the good man died, and the bad man died; that Scripture also doth back this truth, that good and bad must die, marvellous well, where it is said, And it is appointed to men once to die, and after that the judgement. Heb. 9.27.
