from what timcthey began fo to do, if we would un- 
derftand their Dates. 
Andj if we ihould, by a new Law alter ourSdlein 
England ; this would not comprife Scotland : And we 
cannot promife our felves that they would prefently 
comply alfo. For (according to the prefent Conftitu- 
tion of that Church) they are not fo pliable to com-

transfer them to their New Gregorian. 
And confequently how unreafonable it is for tis to 
exchange our better Julian Year for one that is fo
