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 third thing you know that we did observe from these words, was this, That some are so fast asleep, and secure in their sins, that they scarce know where they are, until they come into hell. And that you know I told you I gather by these words. In hell he lift up his eyes. Mark, it was in hell that he lift up his eyes. Now some do understand by these words, that he came to himself, or began to consider with himself, or to think with himself in what an estate he was, and what he was deprived of; which is still a confirmation of the thing laid down by me. There it is that they come to themselves, that is, there they are sensible where they are indeed; thus it fares with some men, that they scarce know where they are, till they lift up their eyes in hell. It is with these people, as with those that fall down in a swoon; you know if a man do fall down in a ⟨p. 39⟩swoon in one room, though you take him up, and carry him into another, yet he is not sensible where he is, till he cometh unto himself, and lifteth up his eyes.
