And, for the same reason, one Day must, in every LeapYear, be added to the day of the Month given by the Table for Septuagesima Sunday, and for the first Day of Lent. THE Golden Numbers in the foregoing Calendar will point out the days of the Paschal Full Moons, till the Year of our Lord 1900; at which time, in order that the clesiastical Full Moons may fall nearly on the same days with the real Full Moons, the Golden Numbers must be removed to different days of the Calendar, as is done in the annexed Table, which contains so much of the Calendar then to be used, as is necessary for finding the Paschal Full Moons, and the Feast of Easter, from the year 1900, to the year 2199, inclusive. This Table is to be made use of, in all respects, as the first Table, before inserted, for finding Easter, till the year 1899.
