A77813 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 tendancy of the said parable. / By that poor and contemptible servant of Jesus Christ, John Bunyan. Bunyan, John, 1628-1688. 1658 (1658) Wing B5516; Thomason E1927_2; ESTC R210338 119,232 307

the_o day_n of_o judgement_n many_o man_n condition_n and_o carriage_n will_v be_v so_o lay_v open_a that_o it_o will_v evident_o appear_v they_o have_v be_v very_o merciless_a and_o mad_a against_o
