much greater than ufua'. That is, 1 2 mud be added, 
inflcad of 11, to the Epad of the preceding, in order 
to form what will be the Epad of the then prefenr 
Year. Which Addition of an Unit extraordinary 
to one Epad will occafion ali the fubfequent Epads 
(which will follow each other in the ufual manner, 
each exceeding the foregoing by 11) to be greater by 
an Unit than their refpediveJy correfponding Epads 
of the preceding 19 Years. 
If therefore, ir.ftead of the Golden Numbers, the 
Epads of the leveral Years were prefixed, in the 
manner the Gregorians have done, to the Days of the 
Calendar, in order to denote the Days on which the 
New Moons fall in thofe Years whereof thofe Num- 
bers are the Epads; there would never be Occafion 
to fhift the Places of thofe Epads in the Calendar; 
fincc the Augmentation by an Unit extraordinary of 
the Epads themfelves would anfwer the Purpofe, and 
keep all tolerably right. 
Thus in a very eafy Method may the Courfc of 
the New Moons be pointed out, either by the Golden 
Numbers, or by the Epads, according to the ‘Julian 
Account or Manner of adjufting the Year, which 
goes on regular and uniform without any Variation. 
But the regulating thefe things for thofe who ufc the 
Gregorian Account, is an Affair of more Intricacy ; 
and for them it will require more Cbnftderatlon to 
determine, when the Epads are to be more than 
ordinarily augmented, and at what Times they are to 
continue in their ufual Courfe ; nay, to know when 
they arc not on y not to be extraordinarily augmented, 
but alfo when they are to be diminifhed by an Unit, 
by increasing one of them by 10 only inftead of 11 
as ufual : and this happens much oftener with the 
Gregorians ,
