For which Reafon, in cafe the Legiflature of this 
Country (hou'.d before the Year 1900, think fit to 
make our Civil Year correfpond with that of the 
Gregorians , and alfo to celebrate all the future Feafts 
of Eajler upon the fame Days upon which they cele- 
brate them ; this laft Particular might be eafily effected, 
without altering the Rule of the Church of England 
for the finding of that Feaft: And this only by advancing 
the Golden Numbers, prefixed to certain Days in the 
Calendar, 8 Days forwarder for the New Moons, or 
21 Days forwarder for the fourteenth Days or Full 
Moons, than they now Hand in our Calendar. 
In order to explain this, it mull be obferved, that the 
Gregorian Account or the New Style is eleven Days 
forwarder than the Julian Account or the Old Style, 
which we {Fill make ufe of; that is, the laft Day of 
any of our Months is the eleventh Day of their next 
fucceeding Month. If therefore their Ecclefiaftical 
New Moons fell on the fame Days with thofe of the 
Church of England, the Golden Number 14, which 
now Hands againft the laft Day of February in our 
that is the Julian Calendar, fhould, when we fhould 
have adopted the Gregorian Calendar, be prefixed to 
the nth Day of March. Butfince their Ecclefiaftical 
New Moons happen 3 Days earlier than our Ecclefiafti- 
cal New Moons at prefent do - 3 fo much fhould be de- 
ducted from thofe 11 Days, by which the Golden 
Numbers ought otherwife to be advanced ; and the 
Golden Number 14 fhould not be placed againft the 
nth, but the 8th Day of March : Which being rec- 
koned the firft Day of the Moon, if we count on to 
the fourteenth Day of the fame inclufive, that would 
be found to fall on the 2 ift Day of March 5 on which 
Day
