TABLE to find Easter-day from the preſent Time, till the Year 1899 incluſive, according to the foregoing Calendar.

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 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.
