Spanish term

serie 40, números 2577175 los cuatro anteriores en orden

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Powers of attorney
The whole sentence is "De todo lo cual y de quedar extendida esta escritura en seis folios de papel del timbre del Estado, serie 40, números 2577175 los cuatro anteriores en orden y presente doy fe."

My attempt is "All of which, and that this document is issued on six pages of officially stamped paper, series 40 numbers 2577175, the four following ones in order, and the present one, I do hereby attest."

@ Robert Oops.... apologies. I meant and missed out a 7. Regards.
Robert Carter Oct 20, 2017:
@Taña That would make much more sense, but unfortunately it appears the number is 2577175, not 257175. Would be nice if James could check back to make sure though.
Taña Dalglish Oct 19, 2017:
@ James I am playing devil's advocate here, but could the number "257175" be 2571/75 (i.e. 71 to 75), which accounts for 5 pages. So what is the 6th page (seis folios de papel....) then (unnumbered?) .. Just curious. Regards.

IMHO, your translation seems fine, but let's jut wait to read some other suggestions.

(Change order of sentence)

Just a suggestion - perhaps a change of word order would make it sound more natural in English? Unless, of course, it is important to attest the numbering as well.
Example sentence:

"All of which I do hereby attest, this document being issued on six pages of officially stamped paper, series 40, numbers 2577175, the four following pages in order, and the present one."

Note from asker:
Yes, my bad, "preceding" not "following"
Yes, I think changing the sentence order is much better. Thanks
Peer comment(s):

neutral Robert Carter : Not sure I understand "numbers 2577175", surely 2577175 is one number, and if it's not, then what does it mean? Also, "anteriores" is "preceding", not "following".
