Luke24:24
24 And certain of them which were with us, went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said; but him they saw not.
It is plain from the Relation of these two Disciples, that they had whatsoever might conduce to a Moral Suasion. They had the Revelation of the Word, from the Mouth of Christ himself. They had Evidences from the Women, from the Apparition of Angels, from some among themselves, that his Body was not there. The Angels said he was Risen. Why do they hesitate then? Why do they not believe? is the fault in the Perverseness of their Wills? had they no mind to believe, that the thing they had hoped, longed, waited for, was true? Certainly there was nothing they more desired. Let the Patrons of the Power of Man's Will to believe, or perform any Actions Spiritually good, tell us (if they can) what could hinder these Disciples actual believing the Resurrection of Christ, but the Impotency of their Wills, God not yet pleasing to Influence, and assist their Wills actually to believe, what they had the greatest Propensions, and Inclinations imaginable to have believed.
