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 Easter- Day.
To find the Golden Number, or Prime, add 1 to the Year of our Lord, and then divide by 19; the Remain
der, 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 Galendar, until the Year 1799 in
clusive, 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.
