Capitolo 27
waking up again the love of sacred study, you/he/she has been above all strong other
in the beauty of the chastity.
This way it came to pass that while I was suddenly absorbed in pride
and the sensuality, the divine grace, the care for both the illnesses it was

such shame was brought to, it was not it for the blessed gift of
grace.

AND SOUL
Now there dwelt in that same city of Paris a certain youth girl
Called Heloise, the niece of a canon that had called Fulbert. His/her
uncle's love for her was only equalled from its desire that her
you/he/she should have the best education for which he could possibly get
his/her. Of any bad beauty, she was near above all out to reason for her
abundant knowledge of letters. Now this virtue is rare among women,
and for that a lot of reason doubly honored the young girl, and it did her/it
