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 Prschal 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 one to the Year of our Lord, adn 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 forth 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 forth 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.
