quake or political revolution, which ultimately subverted the authority of the Papal Church in the Roman kingdom of England, after a strenuous effort had been made to establish it in all its ancient plenitude of power.

In the middle of August in the year 1689, or exactly three natural years and a half after their ecclesiastical slaughter, the two witnessing united Churches were unexpectedly restored to ecclesiastical life.

In the year 1690, by an edict of the Duke of Savoy, they were called up, however reluctantly on the part of the Piedmontese government, to the allegorical heaven of a legal establishment and a full distinct recognition.

Finally, when all these matters had been accomplished, and when the fated day and month and year had expired with a precision almost mathematical : on the 1st of September old style, or on the 11th of September new style, in the year 1697, the victory at Zenta crushed for ever the lordly dominance of the Ottoman Power; and the second great woe, of which it had been the appointed minister, passed away.

Such coincidences are, I think, too remarkable to be the effect of what is vulgarly called accident: they seem to prove, with as much evidence as the nature of the case admits, that the preceding arrangement of the prophetic day and month and year is valid and correct.

I conclude, therefore, that the assigned duration

of the second woe is 396 solar years and 3 months; that this period commenced with the accession of Othman, on the 9th of June 1301.; and that it expired with the battle of Zenta, on the 1st of September 1697 old style, or on the 11th of September 1697 new style.
