The supputation of .666. years must be reckoned from the time, wherein S. John saw the revelation. Ireneus sayeth: It was seen no long time sins, but in a manner in our days, about the end of the reign of Domitian. And Eusebius in his chronicles sayeth, that it was in the year of our lord .97.

Add therefore to an hundred years,1 these years of the number of the name of the beast .666. & subtract those three years of the first hundred, and thou shalt have the year of our Lord .763. which was the .13. year, or thereabouts of king Pippins reign, and the .7. of Pope Paul. Notwithstanding that there be writers of stories and times, which attribute to Paul but one year, &c.
