Farther, she was surely not ensurable tor
releasing engagements which I'd long since
been avoided by the church. Many parts
Of Pope's poem are howeve indetensible,
for amid its prodigaity of beauties, it exhl-
bits to youthful admiration character as I'M
deserving of esteem, asst unlike the orlgl-
nal. The volumptuous phrenzy there por-
trayed was never felt by Heloisa in her early
and romantic days. and far less at the date OF
the letter, when she was the pious and penI-
tent abbess of the Paraclete. After all, the
fame of the English Homer is not perhaps
endangered by the Reverend Joseph Bering-
ton.
Of the 5th letter in the correspondence ap.
pended to this volume, Pope made no use in
his poem, and indeed the calm sobrety which
characterizes it, would have been unsuitable
to his purpose Its object was to solicit the
aid of Abeilard in regulating the communi-
ty over which Heloisa presided, and it affords
abundant proofs of her knowledge othuman
nature, the quickpess OF her perceptions, and
the rectitude of her judgment. With Abeil-
lard reply to it, closes for ought we are told
to the contrary, his correspondence with He
oisa. Afterwards he employed himself in
explaining or rather, as learn, in increasing
the difficulties which opposed the Nuns of
the Paraclete in their studies, and which they
submitted TO his solution. He then compo-
sed Sermons, and a Treatise against Heresies,
in which latter performance, hi, acquaint-
ance with the scriptures is so familiar, and he
so often recommends them to the perusal of
the Nuns, as 10 convince Mr.. Bennington that
they were not, even in the darkest ages. ne
elected. Though this inference is by no
means inevitable, il may be conceded on o.
Their grounds, that Luther in urging the bibli-
cal ignorance of the laity under the Papal
Government mistated its causes, and exag-
gerated its degree of the " exposition Of The
Lords Prayer" and the commentary on the
Epistle to the Romans" Mr. Bennington echoes
an opinion, which | believe is general, that
they are the clearest and most vigorous OF the
writings OF Abeillard.
