may_v not_o only_o talk_v of_o error_n but_o teach_v how_o to_o set_v they_o straight_o and_o even_o let_v i_o here_o humble_o and_o faithful_o endeavour_v to_o show_v how_o they_o may_v be_v amend_v how_o to_o keep_v easter_n true_o for_o ever_o in_o my_o pursuit_n of_o this_o excellent_a verity_n i_o have_v find_v out_o two_o very_a easy_a way_n whereby_o to_o accomplish_v this_o illustrious_a end_n nay_o they_o be_v in_o several_a respect_n the_o same_o though_o seem_o different_a as_o proceed_v from_o two_o very_a learned_a man_n and_o excellent_a astronomer_n even_o of_o our_o own_o

to_o so_o great_a and_o glorious_a a_o truth_n as_o be_v the_o right_a establishment_n of_o this_o holy_a feast_n i._o the_o first_o way_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o for_o establish_v the_o right_a observation_n of_o this_o holy_a feast_n that_o it_o may_v no_o more_o be_v liable_a to_o error_n be_v from_o the_o work_n of_o that_o late_a learned_a gentleman_n sir_n george_z wharton_z baronet_n but_o before_o i_o discover_v the_o way_n give_v i_o leave_v from_o the_o same_o author_n to_o show_v you_o what_o great_a error_n will_v occur_v in_o case_n the_o calendar_n be_v not_o correct_v viz._n without_o a_o correction_n of_o the_o calendar_n easter_n day_n will_v fall_v a_o week_n different_a from_o the_o time_n assign_v by_o the_o rule_n in_o the_o common-prayer-book_n as_o it_o
