of March , or after the 1 8th Day of April, can have 
any Share in fixing the Time of Eajler. By which 
means the Trouble of counting to the fourteenth Day, 
and the Miftakcs which fometimes arife therefrom, 
would be avoided. 
We do as yet in England follow the Julian Ac- 
count or the Old Style in the Civil Year j as alfo the 
Old Method of finding thofe Moons upon which 
Eajler depends : Both of which have been (hewn 
to be very erroneous. 
If therefore this Nation fhould ever judge it pro- 
per to correct the Civil Year, and to make it con- 
formable to that of the Gregorians , it would furely 
be advifeabie to corrcd the Time of the Celebra- 
tion of the Feaft of Eajler likewife, and to bring it 
to the fame Day upon which it is kept and folemnized 
by the Inhabitants of the greateft Part of Europe , 
that is, by thofe who follow the Gregorian Account. 
For tho’ I am aware, that their Method of finding 
the Time of Eajler is not quite exad, but is liable 
to fome Errors 5 yet I apprehend, that all o her prac- 
ticable Methods of doing it would be fo too : And 
if they were more free from Error, they would pro- 
bably be more intricate, and harder to be underfiood 
by Numbers of People, than the Method of deter- 
mining that Feaft either by a Cycle of Epads, as is 
pradiled by the Gregorians , or by that of 19 Years 
or the Golden Numbers, in the manner propofed in 
the following Part of this Paper : And it is of no 
fmall Importance, that a Matter of fo general a Con- 
cern, as the Method of finding Eajler is, fhould be 
within the Reach of the Generality of Mankind, at 
lead as far as the Nature of the thing will admit.
