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 EasterDay. If the Full Moon happens upon a Sunday, tlien (according to the First Rule) the next Sunday after is EasterFDay.

18 C in the small annexed Table, is the
19 D Sunday Letter,

20 E For the next Century, that is, from
21 F the Year 1800 till the Year 1899 inclu-
