between tbe twenty-first Day of March and tbe eighteenth Day of April,
both inclusive, denote tbe Days upon which those Full Moons do fall, which
happen upon or next after the twenry-first Day of MaTch, in those Years of
which they are respectively the Golden Numbers; and tbe Sunday Letter next
following any such Full Moon points out Easter Day for that Year. All which
holds until the Year of our Lord 2199 inclusive; after which Year, the places
of these Golden Numbers will be to he changed, as is hereafter expressed.

twentieth Day of March and the nineteenth Day of April, for the Golden
Number of the Year, against which stands the Day of the Paschal Full Moon.

the Full Moon; and the Day of the Month standing agajnst that Sunday Letter

first rule) the next Sunday after is Easter Day.

then divide by 19; the Remainder, if any, is the Golden Number; but ifnothing
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 wh.ich follow.
