THIS Table contains so much of the Calendar

as is necessary for the determining of Easter; to find which, look for the Golden Number of the Year in the First Column of the Table, against which stands the Day of the Paschal Full Moon; then look in the Third Column for the Sunday

Letter, next after the Day of the Full Moon, and the Day of the Month standing against that Sun­day Letter is Easter- Day. If the Full Moon happens upon a Sunday, then( according to the First Rule) the next Sunday after is Easter­Day.

To find the Golden Number, or Prime, add One to the Year of our Lord, and then divide by 19; the Remainder, if any, is the Golden Number; but if nothing remaineth, then 19 is the Golden Number.

To find the Dominical or Sunday Letter, ac­cording to the Calendar, until the Year 1799 inclusive, add to the Year of our Lord its Fourth Part, omitting Fractions; and also the Number 1: Divide the Sum by 7; and if there is no Remainder, then A is the Sunday Letter: But if any Num­ber remaineth, then the Letter standing against that Number in the small an­nexed Table, is the Sunday Letter.

For the next Century, that is, from the Year 1800 till the Year 1899 inclusive, add to the cur­rent Year only its Fourth Part, and then divide by 7, and proceed as in the last Rule.

Note, that in all Bissextile or Leap- Years, the Letter found as above will be the Sunday Letter, from the intercalated Day exclusive to the End of the Year.
