Or the date of the paschal moons may very easily be determined by taking
eleven successively from the date of every preceding full moon, and that
will give the date of the paschal moons; only it should be borne in mind
that, whenever the full moon falls before the 21st of March, the following
moon is the paschal moon, which happens thirty days later.

As Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the paschal full moon, so all
that remains to be done in fixing the date of Easter, is to find the day
of the month on which that Sunday falls; and as this can easily be done by
the use of the dominical letter, which letter and its use in fixing dates
having been fully explained in Part Second, Chapters IV and V, (q. v.), a
repetition seems to be unnecessary here.
