A SMALL TABLE TO Find the day of the Month for ever Which may be graven upon a piece of Coine the case of a Watch a Tobaccho-box or any such like Very usefull for men of all sorts and qualities to carry about them Invented and at first intended onely for private use By W.

W. for R. E. are to b sold at the seven Starrs neer the North dore of Pauls Church 1655. A small Table to find the day of the moneth for ever THough the Table hereafter expressed is no Invention worthy the owning in Print and is now above ten yeares since communicated to divers of my friends and by them to many whose faces I never saw yet having been of late much pressed by severall of my acquaintance to publish a word or two in relation to the use thereof I thought fit to yield thereunto so far as to shew how the day of the Moneth for any year to come being the principall end for which it was Invented might be discovered thereby YOU may observe that the two uppermost lines in this Table are divided from the rest by a double stroke and do serve to express the Moneths according The Table of Months 5 7 4 12 6 3 11 2 10 0 9.1 0 0 8 The Table of Dayes 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 26 27 28 29 30 31 00 00 00 00 to their Numeral order for March being the first Moneth the Sun then entring Aries is expressed by the figure 1. April the 2. Moneth by the figure 2. according to which order September is the 7. October the 8. November the 9. and December the tenth Moneth as their names do signifie and are expressed in the aforesaid Table by their correspondent numbers Thus you have in the first Collumne towards the left hand the fift and the second Moneth in the second Collumne the seventh and the tenth Moneth in the third Collumne the fourth Moneth in the fourth Collumne the twelfth ninth and first Moneth for note that the figures 9. and 1. though they both stand in one square signifie two Moneths viz. both November and March in the fift Collumne you have the sixt Moneth that is August and so of the rest The figures below the said double line do signifie dayes as hereafter doth appear To find the day of the Moneth at any time observe that those dayes which stand right under any Moneth are alwayes the first dayes of the week commonly called Sundayes for this present yeare 1655. Thus if you look for March which is the first Moneth you shall find it in the fourth Collumne and right underneath the same you shall find the figures 4. 11. 18. 25. All which shew that the fourth of March this year is Sunday and also the 11. 18. and 25. So you shall find April which is the second Moneth in the first Collumne towards the left hand and underneath the same 1. 8. 15. c. and August which is the sixt Moneth in the fift Collumne and underneath the same 5. 12. 19. c. All which dayes being right under their respective Moneths are Sundayes Now when you would find the day of the Moneth by the aforesaid Table you must Consider as in the Case of the common Almanacks what Moneth and what day of the week it is And then you must enter the Table for that Moneth and underneath the same you have I say the Collumne of Sundayes the next after which is the Collumne of Mondayes and the next after that of Tuesdayes and so you must pass from one Collumne to another till you come to that Collumne which Answers to the present day of the week where according as the Moneth is neer the beginning middle or ending thereof you will find your desire as for example It is the third day of the week and the beginning of August in this year 1655. I would know what day of the Moneth it is Answ Entring the Table of Months I find August which is the sixt Moneth in the fift Collumne and right underneath the same 5. 12. 19. 26 these are the first dayes of the week for that Month. The next Collumne therefore towards the right hand viz. 6. 13. c. are the second dayes of the week and the next beyond that viz. 7. 14. c. are the third dayes of the week which are the dayes I seek for Being therefore now about the beginning of August and the third day of the week I Conclude thereupon that it is the 7. day of the Moneth It is now about the later end of June which is the fourth Moneth and the fourth day of the week in the aforesaid year I desire to know what day of the Moneth it is Answ I find June in the third Collumne which third Collumne being ●he first dayes of the week in that Month I pass from thence to the next Collumne for the second dayes of the week and to the next for the third dayes of the week and to the next beyond that for the fourth where I find 6. 13. 20. 27. whereby I conclude it is now the 27. day of the Moneth So for May which is the third Month you shall find it in the sixt Collumne whereby you may perceive that the first dayes of the week are 6. 13. 20. 27. the 2d. days of the week 7. 14. 21. c. the third dayes of the week 1. 8. 15. c. according as you find them in the first Collumne towards the left hand the fourth dayes of the week 2. 9. 16. c. Thus also if for speed you desire to accompt backwards as suppose in November which is found in the fourth Collumne and underneath the same 4. 11. 18. c. which are the first dayes of the week therefore going backwards towards the left hand 3. 10. 17. are the seventh dayes of the week for that Moneth and 2. 9. 16. c. are the sixt dayes of the week and 1. 8. 15. the 5. dayes of the week for that Moneth You must further observe that severall yeares answer to severall dayes of the week So that as this year answers to the first day of the Week so there are other years that Answer to the 2. to the 3. to the fourth and so on which those others are I shal shew immediatly Now as in this year that answers to the first dayes all the dayes right under each Moneth are the first dayes of the Week for that Moneth so in a year that answers to the third day of the Week all the dayes under each Moneth are the third dayes of the Week in that Moneth and the dayes in
