THIS Table contains SO much of the Calendar as is necessary for the determining of Faster; 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 Co lumn 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 one to the Year of our Lord, and then divide by 19; the Remainder, if any, is the Golden Number; but if nothing remain. eth, then 19 is the Golden Num. ber.

sive, add to the Year
of our Lord its Fourth
Part, omitting Frac-
tions; and also the
