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

of_o they_o die_v in_o their_o bed_n and_o therefore_o though_o thou_o think_v that_o a_o miracle_n will_v do_v so_o much_o with_o the_o world_n yet_o i_o say_v no._n for_o if_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n neither_o will_v they_o be_v persuade_v though_o one_o shall_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a from_o these_o word_n therefore_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o truth_n

of_o their_o salvation_n for_o they_o will_v not_o mark_z they_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v though_o one_o shall_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a this_o truth_n be_v confirm_v by_o jesus_n christ_n

if_o you_o believe_v not_o his_o writing_n how_o can_v you_o believe_v my_o word_n now_o i_o say_v he_o that_o shall_v slight_v the_o scripture_n and_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o they_o concern_v jesus_n christ_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o great_a danger_n of_o lose_v his_o soul_n if_o he_o abide_v in_o this_o condition_n because_o he_o that_o slight_v the_o testimony_n do_v

he_o that_o believe_v on_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v the_o witness_n in_o himself_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o god_n have_v make_v he_o a_o liar_n because_o he_o believe_v not_o the_o record_n mark_v the_o record_n that_o god_n give_v of_o his_o son_n the_o record_n you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v that_o even_o the_o testimony_n that_o god_n give_v of_o he_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o the_o holy_a prophet_n since_o the_o world_n begin_v act_n 3.20_o that_o be_v god_n send_v his_o holy_a spirit_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n he_o by_o

his_o spirit_n in_o they_o do_v bear_v witness_n or_o record_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o salvation_n by_o his_o son_n jesus_n both_o before_o and_o after_o his_o come_n and_o thus_o be_v that_o place_n also_o to_o be_v understand_v which_o say_v there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o earth_n the_o spirit_n and_o the_o water_n and_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n in_o the_o apostle_n which_o preach_v he_o to_o the_o world_n as_o be_v clear_a if_o you_o read_v serious_o 1_o thess_n 4.8_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n through_o he_o say_v thus_o now_o he_o that_o despise_v despise_v not_o we_o no_o who_o then_o why_o god_n but_o it_o be_v you_o that_o speak_v true_o but_o it_o be_v by_o and_o through_o the_o spirit_n he_o therefore_o that_o despise_v despise_v not_o man_n but_o god_n who_o also_o have_v give_v we_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n this_o be_v therefore_o a_o mighty_a confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o he_o that_o slight_v the_o record_n or_o testimony_n that_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o his_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n have_v testify_v unto_o we_o slight_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n who_o move_v they_o to_o speak_v these_o thing_n and_o if_o so_o than_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o any_o man_n can_v be_v save_v by_o jesus_n christ_n that_o slight_v the_o testimony_n concern_v christ_n yea_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n concern_v his_o own_o self_n it_o be_v true_a man_n may_v pretend_v to_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o from_o that_o conceit_n set_v a_o low_a esteem_n on_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o that_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o they_o and_o teach_v they_o so_o to_o do_v it_o be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o spirit_n of_o satan_n though_o it_o call_v itself_o by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o law_n therefore_o and_o to_o the_o testimony_n try_v they_o by_o that_o if_o they_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o this_o word_n it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o they_o the_o apostle_n peter_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o glorious_a voice_n that_o he_o have_v from_o the_o
