dc b a g Omne Bonum Seruat Karitas Fructum Patiatur 15 16 17 18 19 fe d c b ag â—raâ—de Kalendarum Laetatur Conditor Ysus ⧠A declaration of the meaning of these Verses BY these Verses which héere are written with letters and figures directly placed ouer euery word You may knowe Easter for euer whether it wil be hye or lowe you may also know the Dominicall Letter the leape yéere and the Prime for euery yéere for ouer euery word you shall finde the Prime and vnder the Prime the Dominicall Letter and when you finde two letters together ouer one word that signifieth the leape yéere and the latter Letter is the Dominicall Letter for that yéere These Uerses may bee called the Cicle of Pascha or of Easter containing in it selfe 532 yéeres At the ende whereof Easter hath his recourse to the first so orderly kéepeth to the ende of these Uerses againe making hisreuolution in the said 532. yéeres And in this great Cicle of Pascha may bée numbered contained and multiplied 19. commen Cicles of the Sunne of the which euery Cicle containeth 28 yéeres likewise in this great Cicle of Pascha may bee contained numbred and multiplied 28. common Cicles of the Moone euery Cicle containing 19 yéeres And therefore I haue thought good to call it the great Cicle of Pascha for when these Verses are ended and 532. yéeres past and spent Then must you returne and beginne againe with the first Verse Grande Bonum Tribus c. and with the same number of the Prime and with the same Letter and so foorth as you did before Nowe to vnderstand it more perfectly you must note that the wordes of them selues signifie nothing but the first and last letters of euery word are onely to be obserued for the first letter signifieth the day of the moneth And the last letter signifieth the moneth Euery woord ending in M. noteth the moneth of March. All other wordes wherein soeuer they ende doo represent the moneth of Aprill the first letter of euery woord sheweth the day of eache moneth And because that Easter kéepeth his course from the 22. of March vnto the 25. of Aprill and passeth not those two dayes therefore you must reckon the dayes by letters thus beginninge with a bed c. For example when you haue any woord that representeth Aprill which you must knowe by the last letter of the woord not béeing M. as I haue shewed then the first letter of that word if it be A as Amans signifieth the first day of Aprill if it be B. as Benefactis it is the second day of Aprill if it be C. as Cuius it is the thyrd of Aprill if it be T. as Tunc then it noteth the 19. of Aprill vppon which day Easter day wil be the next yéere 1584. And because we haue 25. dayes in Aprill to reckon vpon for that Easter day falleth sometime vpon euery of them I am constrained to faine wordes beginning with K. as Karitas Karolus and also with Y. as Ysus Therefore if you finde Y. or the Gréeke v. to bee the first letter of the woord it signifieth the 22. day of Aprill or if it be Z. it is alwayes the 23. day of Aprill Furthermore when you finde by it selfe thus written and 2. by it selfe so written as I was constrained to take them for letters to make vp my number of 25. So must you take them for wordes signifying the 24. of Aprill and 2. signifying the 25. of Aprill And therefore before you I haue set downe my rowe of letters 25. in number with the dayes of Aprill ouer their heades according as each letter dooth note in the verses going before Aprill 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25.  a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. k. l. m. n. o. p. q. r. s t. v. x. y. z. 2. As thus you perceiue the letters of the Alphabet reckoning them for Aprill to goe forward So contrary wise for March you must reckon them backward where wée are to reckon but 10. lettters to serue for 10. dayes of March that is from the 22. to the 31. So that when you finde a word signifying March and that is when it endeth in M. Then if the word begin with A. as Aurum it noteth the 31. day of March on which day Easter day was this present yaere 1583. if it begin with B. as Bonum that noteth the 30. day of March if it begin with C. as Coelum that sheweth the 29. day of March. As this rowe of letters with the number of the daies of March ouer their heades according as they signifie in the Verses shall declare March 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31.  k. i. h. g. f. e. d. c. b. a. Remember alwaies that the word must ende in M to represent March as is shewed you before Nowe the numbers and letters ouer euery word doo shewe the Prime and the Dominicall letter for euery yéere like as euery word includeth a seuerall yeere to shewe Easter day Furthermore when you are come to this perfection by learning and considering these verses that you can shewe from yéere to yéere vpon what day of the moneth Easter will fall and then would be desirous to tell also without booke what is the Dominicall letter any yéere I haue added héere two verses in Lattin and two in English either will serue your turne to helpe your memory to shewe what letter standeth vpon the first day of euery moneth so that reckoning from the first day of the moneth vnto the day vpon which you finde Easter day to fall you haue the Dominicall letter And so may yée call to minde what was the Dominicall letter many yéeres past to saue the labour that I haue knowen some men to take trudging vp and downe for Almanackes of 20. or 30. yéeres past onely to knowe what was the Dominicall letter such yéeres past These Verses are Ianuary February March Aprill May. Iune Iuly August September October NoueÌ„ber DeceÌ„ber Alta. Dedit Dominus Gratis Benedicit Egenis Grandia Christe Facis Astute Doemona Fugas Or thus in English Ianuary February March Aprill May.

Disobediently Greefe Bring euerlasting Grace Christ Foordeth All. men Diuellishnes Forsaking In each two verses you haue 12. wordes for the 12. monethes as they are marked ouer the word nowe euery woord beginneth with the same letter that standeth first in the moneth as Ianuary beginneth with A. therefore I haue said in the verse Alta. So February with D. as Didit and therefore in this Table you sée it more plainely Ianuary A Aprill G Februarie D May. B March. D Iune E Iulie G October A August C Nouember D September F December F To prooue the vse of this rule I finde in my former verses that the next yéere 1584.
Easter day wil be vpon the 19. of Aprill which I finde by this word Tunc the first word in the second verse standing for the yeere 1584. now I wold learne what shal be the Dominicall letter that yeere which I knowe standeth vpon the 19. of Aprill seeing it will be Easter day To know this I call my verse to my remembraunce shewing mee the first letter in Aprill which beeing the fourth in number is represented by the fourth woord in my verse which is Gratis so that G. is the first letter then from the first I reckon to the eight day and so to the 15. for looke what letter is the first day the same letter is the 8. and 15. and 22. and 29. on which daies I finde G. then from the 15. to the 19. day I recken A. for the 19. B. for the 17. and C. for the 18. day then D. standing for the 19. day is the Dominicall letter because it is Easter day And the vse heereof is further As I haue promised to bee in Yorke the 17. day of May next comming in Anno. 1584. I would fainde knowe what day of the weeke it is either Sonday or Munday c. To knowe this I recken from Ianuary to May which as I finde to bee the first moneth in number or in order so I finde in like order in my verses that the first word Benedicit beginneth with B. which sheweth that B. standeth in the Kalender for the first of may then recken to the 15. and there B. standeth so that the 16. day is C. and the 17. day is D. which wil be on Sunday because my former rule hath proued it by finding out Easter day the 19. of Aprill where D. also standeth And as thus you may knowe what letter standeth vpon any day of any moneth so may you knowe what day euery letter dooth stande for c. ⧠The Prime or golden number 1583.

A necessarie Table to know Easter for euer THis Table I haue héere added not onely for such as can not away with the tediousnes of learning my verses but also to prooue whether these verses doo guide you a right to finde out Easter day or no. And this you must thus prooue Séeke out the Prime or Golden number in the first rowe or order downe wardes for the yéere in which you desire to knowe Easter day then looke out the Dominicall letter for that same yéere And directly vnderneth the Dominicall letter and in the order where the Prime standeth shall you finde Easter day As for example I desire to know vpō what day Easter day will fall in the yéere 1585. I finde the Prime wil be 9. the Dominicall letter wil be C. thē vnderneth the letter in the rowe where the Prime standeth I finde the 11. of Aprill which wil be Easter day that yéere in Anno. 1586. I finde the Prime 10. the Dominicall letter B. then vnderneth and in the rowe where the Prime standeth I finde the 3. day of Aprill for Easter day and so you finde it out alwaies héereafter shall followe a rule to finde out the Prime or golden number when I come to speake thereof ¶ Heere followeth an other necessary Table vvherein is placed in your sight the mooueable feastes with their orderly courses according to the course of Easter day which being knowen the other wil be easily borne in memory YOu know that there is betweene Shroue Sunday and Easter day 7. weekes which is 50. daies as for example Easter day beeing the 22. day of March you must haue 28. more which beeing taken out of February there will remaine none then of necessity it must be the first day of February Another If Easter day be the 25. day of Aprill you must haue 25. more which must be taken out of March which will stretch to the 7. day of March which is Shroue Sunday that yeere ⧠This Table serueth to know the mooueable Feastes IN the orders you haue first for the Dominicall letter in the second is placed Shroue Sunday In the thirde is Ashwednesday the first day of Lēt In the fourth order is Easter day In the fift is Rogatiō in the sixt Penticost in the last are numbred the wéekes and dayes betweene the day of the Natiuity of our Lord and Shroue Sunday The vse hereof is when you once knowe vpon what day of the moneth Easter wil be which you haue learned by your former rules thē finde out the same in this Table And directly in the same line you haue your moue able feastes on both sides As for exāple when I finde that Easter day wil be the 22 of March thē Shroue sundaie shal be the first of February Ashwednesday shal be the fourth of Februarie And as Easter day kéepeth from the twentie two of March to the twentie fiue of April So Shroue sunday kéepeth from the first of Februarie vnto the seuenth of March. Whitsunday kéepeth from the tenth of May vnto the thirtéenth of Iune A thing easilie committed to memory if wée remember but onlie the first day of eache of the rowes for what they stand for This rule is easily committed to memory if you will marke it well this euery one knoweth that there is 7. weekes betweene Shroue sunday Easter day likewise frō Easter to Whitsunday Domini Shroue sunday Ashwednesday Easter day Rogation Pentecost Betwene Christ day Shroue sū Letter Februarie Februarie March Aprill May.
