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

sense_n though_o not_o so_o natural_o gather_v from_o this_o scripture_n 2._o that_o he_o be_v lay_v at_o his_o gate_n full_a of_o sore_n these_o word_n hold_v forth_o the_o distemper_n of_o

full_a of_o sore_n from_o whence_o observe_v that_o the_o ungodly_a world_n do_v not_o desire_v to_o entertain_v and_o receive_v the_o poor_a saint_n of_o god_n into_o their_o house_n if_o they_o

if_o the_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o a_o rich_a man_n table_n will_v but_o satisfy_v nature_n and_o give_v he_o bodily_a strength_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v be_v the_o more_o able_a to_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n he_o be_v content_v and_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v feed_v with_o the_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o the_o rich_a man_n table_n but_o mark_v he_o have_v they_o not_o you_o

from_o whence_o observe_v that_o the_o ungodly_a world_n do_v love_v their_o dog_n better_a than_o the_o child_n of_o god_n you_o will_v say_v that_o be_v strange_a it_o be_v so_o indeed_o yet_o it_o be_v true_a as_o will_v be_v clear_o manifest_v as_o for_o instance_n how_o many_o pound_n do_v some_o man_n spend_v in_o a_o year_n on_o their_o dog_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o poor_a saint_n of_o god_n may_v starve_v for_o hunger_n they_o will_v build_v house_n for_o their_o dog_n when_o the_o saint_n must_v be_v glad_a to_o wander_v and_o lodge_v in_o den_n and_o cave_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o if_o they_o be_v in_o any_o of_o their_o house_n for_o the_o hire_n thereof_o they_o will_v warn_v they_o out_o or_o eject_v they_o or_o pull_v down_o the_o house_n over_o their_o head_n rather_o than_o not_o rid_v themselves_o of_o such_o tenant_n again_o some_o man_n can_v go_v half_a a_o mile_n from_o home_n but_o they_o must_v have_v their_o dog_n at_o their_o heel_n but_o they_o can_v very_o willing_o go_v half_a a_o score_n mile_n without_o the_o society_n of_o a_o christian_a nay_o if_o when_o they_o be_v busy_a with_o their_o dog_n they_o shall_v chance_v to_o meet_v a_o christian_n they_o will_v willing_o shift_v he_o if_o they_o can_v they_o will_v go_v on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o hedge_n or_o the_o way_n rather_o than_o they_o will_v have_v any_o society_n with_o he_o and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n a_o child_n of_o god_n shall_v come_v into_o a_o house_n where_o there_o be_v but_o two_o or_o three_o ungodly_a wretch_n they_o do_v common_o

the_o same_o time_n a_o dog_n or_o a_o drunken_a swear_a wretch_n which_o be_v worse_o than_o a_o dog_n they_o will_v make_v he_o welcome_a he_o shall_v sit_v down_o with_o they_o and_o partake_v of_o their_o dainty_n and_o now_o tell_v i_o you_o that_o love_v your_o sin_n and_o your_o pleasure_n have_v you_o not_o rather_o keep_v company_n with_o a_o drunkard_n a_o swearer_n a_o strumpet_n a_o

do_v you_o look_v on_o they_o as_o if_o you_o will_v eat_v they_o up_o yet_o at_o the_o very_a same_o time_n if_o you_o can_v but_o meet_v your_o dog_n or_o a_o drunken_a companion_n you_o can_v fawn_v upon_o they_o take_v acquaintance_n with_o they_o to_o the_o tavern_n or_o alehouse_n with_o they_o if_o it_o be_v two_o or_o three_o time_n in_o a_o week_n but_o if_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n meet_v together_o pray_v together_o and_o labour_n to_o edify_v one_o another_o you_o will_v stay_v till_o doomsday_n as_o they_o call_v it_o before_o you_o will_v look_v into_o the_o house_n where_o they_o be_v ah_o friend_n when_o all_o come_v to_o all_o you_o will_v be_v find_v to_o love_v drunkard_n strumpet_n dog_n any_o thing_n nay_o to_o serve_v the_o devil_n rather_o than_o to_o have_v love_v and_o friendly_a society_n with_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n moreover_o the_o dog_n come_v and_o lick_v his_o sore_n here_o again_o you_o may_v see_v not_o only_o the_o afflict_a state_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n in_o this_o world_n but_o also_o that_o even_o dog_n themselves_o according_a to_o their_o kind_n be_v more_o favourable_a to_o the_o saint_n than_o the_o sinful_a world_n though_o the_o ungodly_a will_v have_v no_o mercy_n on_o the_o saint_n yet_o it_o be_v order_v so_o that_o these_o creature_n dog_n lion_n etc._n etc._n will_n though_o the_o rich_a man_n will_v not_o entertain_v hi●_n into_o his_o house_n yet_o his_o dog_n will_v come_v and_o do_v he_o the_o best_a good_a they_o can_v even_o to_o lick_v his_o run_a sore_n it_o be_v thus_o with_o daniel_n when_o the_o world_n be_v mad_a against_o he_o and_o will_v have_v he_o throw_v to_o the_o lion_n to_o be_v devour_v the_o lion_n shut_v their_o mouth_n at_o he_o or_o rather_o the_o lord_n do_v shut_v

that_o that_o christ_n tell_v the_o jew_n will_v befall_v they_o in_o luke_n 13.28_o there_o shall_v be_v weep_v etc._n etc._n when_o you_o shall_v see_v abraham_n your_o father_n and_o isaac_n and_o
