A TABLE, shewing, by means of the Golden Numbers, the several Days on
which the Paschal Limits or Full Moons, according to the _Gregorian_
Account, have already happened, or will hereafter happen; from the
Reformation of the Calendar in the Year of our Lord 1582, to the Year
4199 inclusive.
To find the Day on which the Paschal Limit or Full Moon falls in any
given Year; Look, in the Column of Golden Numbers belonging to that
Period of Time wherein the given Year is contained, for the Golden
Number of that Year; over-against which, in the same Line continued to
the Column intitled _Paschal Full Moons_, you will find the Day of the
Month, on which the Paschal Limit or Full Moon happens in that Year.
And the _Sunday_ next after that Day is _Easter_ Day in that Year,
according to the _Gregorian_ Account.
