The Numbers prefixed to the several Days, in the foregoing Calendar, between the twentyfirst Day of March and the eighteenth Day of April, both inclusive, denote the Days upon which those Full Moons do fall, which happen upon or next after the twenty-first Day of March, in those Years of which they are respectively the Golden Numbers: And the Sunday Letter next following any such Full Moon points out Easter-day for that Year. All which holds until the Year of our Lord 1899 inclusive; after which Year, the places of these Golden Numbers will be to be changed, as is hereafter expressed.

To find Easter-day, look in the first column of the Calendar, between the 20th day of March and the 19th day of April, for the Golden Number of the Year, 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 happen 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 remainder, if any, is the Golden Number; but if nothing remain, then 19 is the Golden Number.

To find the Dominical or Sunday Letter, and the places of the Golden Numbers in the Calendar, see the General Tables which follow.

DAY.

NOTE, That in a Bissextile or Leap-year, the number of Sundays after Epiphany will be the same as if Easter-day had fallen one Day later than it really does. And, for the same reason, one Day must, in every Leap-year, be added to the Day of the Month given by the Table for Septuagesima Sunday, and for the First Day of Lent: unless the Table gives some Day in the Month of March for it: for in that case, the Day given by the Table is the right Day.
