From the birth of Enos B. C. 5044, are 6880 years, which is the sum of
the trinal fractions 6807 and 73. From the death of Seth B. C. 4337,
are 6173 years, which is the sum of 5932, or 4 times the fraction
1483, and the fraction 241; the corresponding epochs, being the Divine
defeat of the Spanish Armada in A. D. 1596, and the Accession. From
the birth of Methuselah B. C. 4192, are 6028 years, which is the sum
of the fractions 6007 and 21, the corresponding epochs being the
General Peace in A. D. 1816, and the Accession. From the birth of
Japhet B. C. 3317, are 5153 years, which is the sum of 4820, or 20
times the fraction 241, and 333, or 3 times the fraction 111. From the
Egression of Noah from the Ark B. C. 3216, are 5052 years, which is
the sum of 4995, or 45 times the fraction 111, and the fraction 57 or
3 times the cycle of 19.
From the death of Eber B. C. 2416, are 4252 years, which is the sum of
the fractions 4161 and 91, the corresponding epochs being the defeat
of the Pretender at Culloden in A. D. 1746, and the Accession. From
the Call of Abraham B. C. 2070, are 3906 years, which is the sum of
3885 or 35 times the fraction 111 and the fraction 21, the
corresponding epochs being the General Peace in A. D. 1816, and the
Accession. From the beginning of the 3rd servitude of Israel B. C.
1426, are 3262 years, which is the sum of 3219, or 29 times the
fraction 111, and the fraction 43, the corresponding epochs being the
fall of Robespierre A. D. 1794, and the Accession. From the captivity
in Babylon B. C. 606, are 2442 years, which is 22 times the fraction
111, and terminates at the epoch of the Accession. From the birth of
Christ B. C. 3, are 1839 years, which is the sum of 1776, or 16 times
the fraction 111, and 63, or 3 times the fraction 21, the
corresponding epochs being the Accession of Louis XVI. in 1774, and
the Accession of Victoria I. But we must stop here, having cited only
12 instances out of 30 given by the author, in which the latter event
is shown to be linked to great events in the former history of the
world by curious and remarkable cycles of time.
