that_o easter-day_n must_v be_v keep_v upon_o the_o first_o sunday_n after_o the_o first_o full_a moon_n in_o march_n as_o have_v be_v say_v and_o furthermore_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o fourteen_o

for_o that_o if_o the_o fourteen_o day_n of_o the_o moon_n of_o march_n shall_v happen_v to_o be_v sunday_n the_o celebration_n of_o easter_n must_v by_o the_o same_o ancient_a 57_o father_n

of_o many_o difficulty_n as_o also_o return_v home_n to_o our_o affair_n in_o hand_n to_o show_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o eastern_a custom_n among_o the_o scot_n pict_n and_o britan_n not_o to_o

consideration_n for_o the_o reader_n be_v utility_n which_o be_v the_o small_a piety_n or_o religion_n of_o these_o sectary_n of_o our_o day_n who_o care_v not_o what_o they_o grant_v deny_v or_o

another_o as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o question_n be_v about_o all_o those_o book_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n which_o by_o luther_n and_o lutheran_n be_v reject_v from_o the_o

for_o this_o point_n our_o protestant_n of_o england_n take_v their_o part_n and_o defend_v they_o stout_o as_o we_o see_v by_o the_o write_n of_o fulk_n 1._o chark_n whitaker_n and_o other_o

the_o like_a example_n may_v be_v take_v from_o martin_n luther_n who_o in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr conciliis_fw-la do_v persuade_v the_o german_a prince_n to_o observe_v easter-day_n as_o a_o
