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 thing_n to_o be_v short_a my_o brethren_n be_v unbeliever_n and_o do_v not_o regard_v the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o know_v it_o by_o myself_o for_o when_o i_o be_v in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v

i_o care_v not_o and_o as_o it_o be_v with_o i_o then_o so_o it_o be_v with_o my_o brethren_n now_o we_o be_v all_o of_o one_o spirit_n love_v all_o the_o same_o sin_n slight_v all_o the_o same_o
