except_v this_o year_n the_o ten_o of_o april_n will_v be_v observe_v for_o a_o easter-day_n even_o in_o the_o remote_a part_n of_o asia_n and_o africa_n because_o they_o as_o well_o as_o we_o find_v easter-day_n by_o the_o rule_n which_o be_v general_o receive_v by_o all_o christian_n eleven_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o two_o year_n ago_o and_o be_v observe_v by_o all_o christian_n ever_o since_o till_o the_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n 1583_o when_o in_o obedience_n to_o a_o bull_n of_o pope_n gregory_n the_o thirteen_o many_o country_n celebrate_a easter_n a_o fortnight_n soon_o than_o the_o rest_n of_o christendom_n and_o ever_o since_o that_o year_n they_o have_v follow_v new_a rule_n for_o the_o find_n of_o easter-day_n which_o rule_v 773_o year_n hence_o will_v give_v they_o a_o easter-day_n six_o week_n before_o we_o but_o till_o then_o none_o more_o than_o five_o week_n before_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o 1663._o but_o i_o need_v not_o speak_v any_o more_o of_o that_o calendar_n and_o its_o new_a rule_n at_o this_o time_n although_o you_o tell_v i_o that_o divers_a roman_a catholic_n and_o priest_n be_v eager_a pleader_n for_o the_o three_o of_o april_n i_o perceive_v that_o they_o pretend_v not_o to_o prove_v their_o assertion_n by_o say_v it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o roman_a calendar_n for_o they_o know_v that_o calendar_n be_v not_o yet_o public_o receive_v in_o england_n but_o they_o say_v it_o must_v be_v so_o because_o in_o the_o common-prayer-book_n print_v 1662._o there_o be_v this_o rule_n easter-day_n be_v always_o the_o first_o sunday_n after_o the_o first_o full_a moon_n which_o happen_v next_o after_o the_o one_o and_o twenty_o day_n of_o march._n but_o say_v they_o this_o year_n that_o full_a moon_n be_v on_o the_o one_o and_o thirty_o of_o march_n asleep_o thursday_n after_o which_o the_o first_o sunday_n be_v the_o three_o of_o april_n the_o second_o sunday_n be_v the_o ten_o of_o april_n therefore_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n not_o april_n the_o ten_o but_o april_n the_o three_o must_v be_v easter-day_n this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a demonstration_n if_o the_o word_n full_a moon_n have_v the_o same_o meaning_n in_o both_o place_n but_o the_o full_a moon_n mean_v in_o the_o rule_n this_o year_n be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o four_o of_o april_n which_o be_v monday_n the_o first_o sunday_n after_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v april_n 10_o which_o therefore_o by_o this_o rule_n shall_v be_v easter_n if_o the_o priest_n you_o write_v of_o make_v difficulty_n to_o admit_v such_o full_a moon_n pray_v they_o to_o search_v their_o
