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.

Truly thus it is to be feared, it is with many poor souls, they are so senseless, so hard, so seared in their conscience, that they are very ignorant of their state; and when death comes, it strikes them, as it were, into a swoon, (especially if they die suddenly) and so they are hurried away, and scarce know where they are, till in hell they lift up their eyes.

Of this sort are they spoken of in Psalm 73. where he saith, There are no bonds in their death, but their strength is firm. They are not troubled as other folk, neither are they plagued like other men. And again, they spend their days in wealth, and in a moment, mark, in a moment, before they are aware, they go down to the grave, Job 21.17.
