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

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
