JV. The Keport made by the Lord Treafurer'^mlti^ 
to the Lords of the Council^ of the Confultation hadj 
and the Examination of the Plain and Brief Dif-^ 
courfe by John Dec for the Slueens Majejiy, 
25 Martii ijSa. 
IT was agreed by Mr. Digges^ Mr. Savile^ and Mr. 
chambers^ that upon their feveral Perufal of the 
Bock written by Mr. Dee^ as a Difcomfe ufon the Refor- 
m4tio;$ of the P^ulgAr Cderdar for the Civil Year, that 
they do allow of his Opinion^ that whereas in the late 
Roman Calendar reformed there are Ten Days cut off to 
reduce the Civil Year to the State it was eftabli/hed 
in at the Council of A/zV^, the better Reform.ation had 
been to have cut off Eleven Days^ and to have reduced 
the Civil Year, according to the State as it was in at 
the Birth of Chrift. And fo they all agree, that fuch 
a Reformation had been more agreeable to the Account 
of Chrift. And fo they do alfoaffent that having Re- 
gard to the Council of Nice^ the Subtradion of Ten 
Days is agreeable to Truth. And therefore the better to 
agree with all Countries adjacent, that have received 
their Reformation of fubtrading Ten Days only, they 
think it may be affented unto without any manifeft 
Error : having Regard to obferve certain Rules hereaf- 
ter, for omitting fome Leap- Years in fome Hundred 
Years. And for the fubtravfting of Ten Days, Mn Dee 
has compiled a Form of a Calendar, beginning at MAy^ 
and ending at w4«g;tt/?. Wherein every of thefe Four; 
Months, M^y^ J^»e^ Julj^ Auguft^ lhall have in the 
ends of them fome Days taicen away without changing 
of any Fcaft or HolyDay, moveable or fixed, or without 
aiieriog the CouyfesofTmity Term: Thatis tofay^.
