XXXII Of the Golden number Circle of the Sunne Dominicall letter and Epact c. THe golden number is a Periodicall reuolution of 19 of our ciuill yeares in which time the old Phylosophers thought that all the lunations or aspects betwixt the Sun and Moone returned to the same place they were at 19 yeares before for in that space the Dragons head made a Periodicall reuolution but this is not so for in 19 yeares there is an Anticipation of an houre and a halfe very néere wanting but 75 seconds so that looke what coniunction hapned this yeare in Aries at noone shall fall 19 yeares hence one houre halfe before this Circle is called Decem-nouenalis Circulus whose parts bee called the golden number for that it was writ in golden characters in Tables of siluer and so sent to Rome or for that they bee written in red or golden leters in the Kalender and is found thus Adde to the yeare of our Lord 1. for so much was the Prime when Christ was borne which diuide by 19 the remainder is the Prime or Golden number Of the Epact THe Epact is nothing else but a number of 11 daies which the common solar yeare doth excéed the common Lunar yeare the one consisting of 365 dayes the other of 354 daies and therefore they adde that excesse vnto the Lunar yeare to coequal thē for Epactae with the Greekes frō 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifieth intercalare or addere by the addition of which excesse in euery foure yeares there is gotten a number more then 30 which is greater then the Epact can bee because from change to change there can be but 30 dayes therefore 30 must be taken from that excesse and the remainder is the Epact for the next yeare as 1611 the Epact is 26 to which adde 11 so haue you 37 from which take 30 and you haue 7 the Epact 1612. To get the Epact for euer doe therefore thus multiply the Prime by 11 parting the product by 30 so is the remainder the Epact or as is said adde 11 to the Epact of this yeare so haue you the Epact of the next or see the age of the Moone the 11 Calends of Aprill for that is the number of the Epact But because I will ease you of calculation sée the ensuing Table which sheweth you in perpetuall the Concordancy betwixt the Prime and the Epact so that hauing one you may find the other answering thereunto and for your further ease I haue added the yeares of our Lord to it hauing the yeare of our Lord vnder it in order you haue the Prime and Epact and when the yeares in this Table be expired beginne them againe placing 1631 where 1612 is c. so shall your Table bee perpetuall A Table to finde the Golden number and Epact for euer An.
