An established writer might note the name Enoch, because it is both unusual and very clearly Biblical, referring to the names of Abraham's forefathers, from the days just before Noah. But, then again, this novel expresses a certain amount of esoteric kinds of knowledge, such as the involvement of the mystic mathematician Leibniz, who famously invented calculus at the same time as Newton, causing a stir. The western world prefers the story of Newton for its rules and perplexity, but this book clearly prefers the mystery of Leibniz and his bizarre philosophy.
For these reasons, a higher level analysis should probably consult two references for potential clues to the novel's intentions: the extra-Biblical document, the Book of Enoch, and the writings of Leibniz, perhaps The Monadologie. These two books express a grey area between philosophy and religion, both in radically different ways. The early modern age is being set against intellectual information of the time that shows a kind of mystery in modernity. These are not characters in 2019, of course, they are from the late 1600's, so the line between science and religion is explored because those boundaries developed over time.
All this points to a clever analysis: The characters in the novel might represent some kind of mystic union of opposites. For instance, the politics are a constant give and take, concession and assertion. The romance is a delicate game of harmonizing masculine and feminine perspectives (especially Daniel and Eliza). The position of the Glorious Revolution in the ending is set with an opposite: Daniel's bladder stones, a sign of something universal: It is through the private, personal fates and sufferings of specific people in specific communities that the society moves forward in time. The changing times are set between the opposites of the mystic path and the scientific future.
