What reading level is The Heptameron book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
waited for some plainer evidence of his bad purpose before she would speak to him. Bui fhe waited so long, and nature is so frail, that her anger ended in an abominable pleasure, and she forgot that she was a mother.
As water retained by force is more impetuous when let loose, so was it with this unfortunate woman, who made her whole pride consist in the violence she did her body. When she began to descend the first step from her chastity she found herself at once at the bottom, and became preg...nant that night by him whom she wished to hinder from getting others with child.
No sooner was the sin committed than she was seized with the most poignant remorse, and her repentance lasted as long as her life. So keen was her anguish on rising from beside her son, who never discovered his mistake, that entering a closet, and calling to mind the firm resolution she had formed, and which she had so badly executed, she passed the whole night alone in an agony of tears. But instead of humbling herself, and owning that of ourselves alone, and without the aid of God, we can do nothing but sin, she thought by her own efforts and by her tears to repair the past and prevent future mischief, always imputing her sin to the occasion, and not to wickedness, for which there is no remedy but the grace of God.
