❧ A litle treatise conteyning many proper Tables and rules very necessary for the vse of al men The contentes wherof appere in the next page folowing ¶ Collected and set forthe by Richard Grafton 1571. ¶ LONDINI In aedibus Richardi Tottelli Cum priuilegio ad imprimendum solum ¶ THE CONTENTES OF this Booke ¶ Fyrst a Preface wherein is declared theffect of all the matters herein conteyned ¶ A Calender very necessary for the vse of this Booke ¶ An Almanack for .lx. yeres yet to come wher in you may readely fynde Easter Rogacion and whitsonday ¶ A Table or Rondell wherein you maye at all tymes readely fynde the yere of our lord The Epact The Prime The Dominical letter and the Leape yere for euer ¶ A Rule at all tymes to know the Age of the Moone her chaunge and full for euer ¶ A Table wherby to find for euer the feastes of Easter and all other moueable feastes as wel those that haue ben as all suche as are to come ¶ A newe and more briefe Computacion of the yeres of our Lorde agreing with the yeres of the reignes of all the kynges of this Realme sithen the Conquest whereby readely you may finde the yere of our Lorde the Prime Epact The Sondaies letter the Leape yere the beginning of euery kynges reigne and the nomber of yeres that he reigned and also may quickly vnderstande the accompte of the yeres of any Euidence ¶ A Table to knowe the Ebbes and Floods in most Portes and Hauens in Englande ¶ A Table declaringe what signe the Moone shal be in any day of the yere for euer and also whē it is good to let blood to Bathe or to Pourge ¶ All the Principall Faires in a more orderlye maner then hath ben heretofore set forthe ¶ The highe wayes also from one towne to another moche larger then before hath ben set forth THE PREFACE THE order of this small Booke the matters therin conteyned are as foloweth ¶ FIRST I haue placed herein a Calender wherein I haue obserued the olde Saynctes dayes not of supersticion as thoughe I thought euery of them mencioned in the saide Calender to be a saincte for of some I know the contrarye Neyther if they were all saynctes do I therfore place them in my Calender But because it hath bene a custome of aūcient time to vse their names in signifiynge and makinge certayne the dayes tymes and termes of the yere as by the dating of diuerse olde Deedes Euidences and Recordes it wil apere And because the same custome is yet retayned in the retorning of writtes and processes and also is commonly vsed in the notinge and settyng forth of the principall Faires and Markettes other seasons of the yere those names serue well for my purpose therfore I mighte not conueniently haue left them out And vnto the said Calender I haue added the Calendes Nonas and Ides because diuerse euidences are dated on those daies and by those wordes And therunto also I haue added the vigiles and festiuall daies with the trewe time of the Termes and their returnes because that hauyng this booke there shal be no occasion to call for any other Calender And finally in the ende of the saide Calender I haue set forth an Almanacke for lx yeeres yet to come wherein is shewed the first Sonday in Lent Caster day Rogacion weke Whitsonday and by them you may finde al other moueable feastes NEXT AFTER the Almanacke is a Table or Rondell that teacheth for euer readely to finde the yeres of our Lord the Epact the Pryme the Dominicall letter and the Leape yere with a declaracion of the vse of the same Table AND also a rule to knowe the age of the Moone her Chaunge and Full for euer Then foloweth a Table to finde the feastes of Easter and so all other the moueable feastes that haue bene in tyme past or shall be hereafter for euer with a playne instruction of the vse and vnderstandinge thereof THEN begynneth my Computacion of yeres wherin is to be noted that euery page therof is deuyded into eyghte seuerall partes or places as may appere by the tytles ouer euery of their heades In the fyrste place are the yeres of our lorde In the second the Pryme In the thyrde the Epact In the fourth the Dominicall letter In the fifthe the leape yere when so euer it happeneth In the sixte are the names of the kinges as they reigned beginning with Williā the Conquerour c. And in the same place also are the Monethes that euery of them entred into theyr reignes And in the seuenth are the daies of the Monthes that euery of them began to reigne in And in the .viij. and last are the yeres that euery of them reigned Also in the ende of the reigne of euerye kynge I haue shewed the day of his death if he died beinge kyng or the daye of his deposicion if he were deposed with a true accompte howe many yeres Monethes weekes or dayes he reigned ¶ AND HERE I thincke it mete to declare somewhat of the commoditie and necessarye vse of the Computacion afore mencioned And for the better instruction and vnderstandynge thereof I wyll moue certayne questions and geue aunsweres to the same in suche sorte as shall so vtter the order and maner therof as it were by examples that I doubt not but the trewe and necessary vse of the same shall playnely appere to all men 1.
