A42829	Festum festorum, or, A discourse touching the holy feast of Easter shewing how it may be established for ever / by John Gadbury ...	Gadbury, John, 1627-1704.	1687 (1687)	Wing G83; ESTC R5647	21,158	74

EMPEROUR or RING present at it and in the Head of it thereby the better to give Encouragement to so Great and Glorious a Work● as in those of Nice and Chalccdon In the later of which when they came to an accord about this Holy Feast they all with one Voice made this Pious Acclamation Vnum Pascha in Orbi Terrarum There is but ONE EASTER now all the World over What hath been may be and we have the same God of Truth to rely on The same I●genuity to assist us We want only the same Industry and I was about to say the same Encouragement with them that have gone before us Let us observe further That this Holy Feast of FASTER both for its Name and Use of All Feasts ought to be most punctually and truly observed Of the Name we have spoken somewhat before and something likewise of its Vse But it may moreover be remembred that the HOLY CHURCH for the advantage of all Pl●● Chr●●ians hath appointed it to be observed as a time of PACIFICATION when to bring our Peace Offerings to God and to One Another And it is therefore justly stiled FESTVM PACIS the blessed Feast of Peace because at this time the Sun of Righteousness and PRINCE of PEACE arose from the Grave according to what was Prophesied long before of him to bring PEACE and Salvation to all Men. And how requisite it is to have a FEAST of so glorious a Memorandum and Immense Advantage to the World truly Stated and Observed I submit to the Judgement of all Wise Men and good Christians I well remember what a great Bustle Anno 1664 there was in this Nation about the right observing of this HOLY FEAST The KING and COUNCH were troubled with complaints about it And it was alledged to the Kings Majesty that all the Almanack-makers for that year were mistaken in the right timing of this FEAST and had imposed a wrong EASTER upon the World. Upon which noisy Charge the Learned Dr. PELL Chaplain to the then Arch-Bishop of Canterbury wrote an Ingenious Discourse in a Letter to a Friend in London which was afterwards Printed bearing this Title EASTER not MISTIMED In which this worthy Gentleman plainly proved where the Errour-lay and the Astrologers or Almanack-makers were also justly defended as well in respect of the Truth of their Art as from an impossibility of their confederating together to delude the World with a False Easter whereas many of them lived remote from London and from each other and the most of them unknown One to the Other And the next year viz. 1665. several of them that wrote Almanacks as Mr. WHARTON M. WING Mr. BOOKER and my SELF as sensible of the Injustice as well as Unreasonableness of that ridiculous CLAMOUR wrote a particular Defence of the ART as to that matter in the several ALMANACKS of that year as may be seen by any that please to take the pains to peruse them But now that we may not only talk of ERRORS but teach how to set them Strait and Even let me here humbly and faithfully endeavour to shew how they may be amended How to keep EASTER truly for Ever In my pursuit of this Excellent VERITY I have found out Two very Easie Ways whereby to accomplish this Illustrious End Nay they are in several respects the same though seemingly different as proceeding from Two very Learned Men and Excellent Astronomers even of our own Age. Which proves that the Scientifical Genius of this Intelligent Nation is not at REST until it have not only discover'd but done something of SERVICE to so great and glorious a Truth as is the right Establishment of this HOLY FEAST I. The first way I have met with for Establishing the right observation of this HOLY FEAST that it may no more be liable to Errour is from the Works of that late Learned Gentleman Sir GEORGE WHARTON Baronet But before I discover the way give me leave from the same Author to shew you what great Errours will occur in case the CALENDAR be not corrected viz. Without a Correction of the Calendar EASTER DAY will fall a week different from the Time assign'd by the Rule in the Common-Prayer-Book as it hath happen'd since the Year of Christ 1600. Twenty Times to Anno 1664. viz. In the Years 1602. 1609. 1610. 1613. 1616. 1619. 1620. 1623. 1626. 1630. 1637. 1640. 1643. 1646. 1647. 1650. 1653. 1657. 1661. 1664 And will so again says this worthy Author unless a Reformation be obtain'd in the Years 1667. 1669. 1673. 1677. 1681. 1684 1685. 1687. 1688. 1691. 1694. 1697. And Thirty One times more before the Year 1800. Nor is this all For there oft-times happens a whole Monthy Errour as to the time of the Celebration thereof having already fallen out so 〈…〉 since that of 〈…〉 viz. in the years 1625. 16●● 〈◊〉 and so will again without a 〈◊〉 of the ●●lendar in the years 〈…〉 1723. 174● 1750. 〈…〉 and in the year ●●07 For in those years there will happen from the 〈…〉 two Full Moons before our EASTER can be kept Nay there falls out very often no less than 35. days or span● ●●ROUR in the time of our EASTER having already fallen out so no less than Eleven 〈◊〉 since the year 〈◊〉 viz. in the years 〈…〉 1622. 16●● 〈…〉 1663. and so will again without an amendment of the 〈…〉 in the years 16●● 〈…〉 And just 〈…〉 more before the year 1800. But in the years 2437. 2467. 2491. c. there will be 42 days ERROUR and some time afterward no less than 49 days And after the year 2698. if the old Cale●dar should be still retain'd it will Never again happen according to the Rule of the Church which fixes it on the Sunday following the first Full Moon next after the VERNAL AEQUINOS Vid. Calend. Carol. pro An. 1665. Now let us consider the way he teaches to 〈◊〉 and prevent these ERROURS for time to come And that is this viz. That if all the 〈◊〉 were omitted for Fi●●y 〈◊〉 that alone would gradually and insensibly without the least inconveniency bring us 〈◊〉 Day● before the 〈◊〉 ACCOUNT and be exactly agreeable to the SUNS place at the 〈◊〉 of our 〈◊〉 SAVIOUR Whereas the very GREGO 〈…〉 though now the Best and the Truest would be Two day less Ex●●● That being only reduced to the 〈◊〉 at 〈◊〉 And if after this the 〈◊〉 be kept as before except every 132. years wherein the ●EAF-DAY must be omitted for ever or else that 〈…〉 Day be struck off every 100 years except in each 400. for ever there would need no more to have our 〈…〉 of 〈◊〉 and all other 〈…〉 therein depending kept according to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Observation Se● the Demonst●●●●●● For by supposing the 〈◊〉 Year to be after 〈◊〉 365 Days 5 Hours 49 Minutes 4 Seconds 21 Thirds the Annual 〈◊〉 allowed it by 〈…〉 N●AR will be 10 Minutes 55 Seconds 39 Thirds which 〈…〉 in 132 Years and but 2 Minutes 25 Seconds

●●●NOXES 42 min. 56 sec and therefore the keeping of 33 LEAP-YEARS together doth put them bark the quantity of 23 h. 36 m. 48 se Also by Omission of One LEAP-YEAR as is before expressed they are 〈◊〉 23 h. 17 m. 04 se The Difference or Anticipation therefore in 136 Years is but 00 h. 19 m. 44 se So that it is 〈◊〉 That if from reducing the AEQUINOX viz. An. 〈…〉 three LEAP-YEARS be kept and the 34th viz. 〈◊〉 be omitted the going 〈◊〉 of the AEQUINOXES in every 136 years will be but 19 m. 44 sec And taking the 19 min. 44 sec the quantity run back from the 〈◊〉 to the year 1852. from 5 ho. 1 min. 36 sec the 〈◊〉 it was too forward Anno 1716. the remainder that the AEQUINOXES will be too forward 〈…〉 will be the quantity of 04 h. 41 m. 52 se So that it will be above 〈◊〉 after the 〈…〉 before the AEQUINOXES will be put 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 of ONE MINUTE● And in 9000 Years after that if every 34th LEAP-YEAR be omitted as aforesaid the Anticipation will not be the quantity of Twenty four Hours and may then by the Omission of another LEAP-YEAR more be Reduced Thus far this ENCELLENT AUTHOR Now how requisite it is that AUTHORITY be humbly put in mind of a Matter so August and Weighty as is the right Observation of the HOLY FEAST of our Blessed 〈◊〉 's Resurrection will I hope most fully appear from the soregoing Diss●urs● as also by divers pre-visional Consequences For without a Correction of the CALENDAR we shall be Obnoxious to many ERRORS and most certainly find I. That within the compass of a very small Circuit of Years viz. from this very Year of 1687 to the Year 1702 A short ●ime only we shall be 〈◊〉 of no less than ●ight or Nine apparent ERROURS in respect of the right Timing of the Holy. F●●st of EASTER Almost as many ERROURS as Years Not to mention what more will certainly be found after that Year which will indeed be very Numerous As before you have plainly been inform'd II. In Tract of Time if no Correction be obtain'd the very Season of the Year will be vary'd so much that our WINTER will be found at ●●D-SUMMER and our Sum●● or 〈◊〉 Days will appear at 〈◊〉 and our BLESSED 〈◊〉 and the BAPTIST be forced to Exchange their TROPICKS as before you have heard III. The 〈…〉 though in it self not absolutely true will as indeed already it frequently doth carry the GARLAND from the Julian Account and make it to be look'd on as a ●●anger to TRUTH IV. If no Correction of our CALENDAR be made we shall be commonly constrain'd to the Keeping of Two EASTERS in O●e Year or within the Compass of less than 365 Days As it fell out A●●● 1668 and must again the n●xt Year 1688 and very often afterwards V. Without a Correction of the CALENDAR our Learned'st Divines and ●●storians as well as Ma●hematicians will be at a Loss in the right assigning of EASTER and stand liable to be Taxed or T●●●ed with IGNORANCE in the just and proper LIMITS of this Sacred Feast as the Learned and Noble BARONIVS once was by the Industrious Sethus Calvisius that Excellent 〈◊〉 VI. For want of an ●mendation of the 〈◊〉 CALENDAR our CHURCH and STATE in Time will be compell'd to the like Tr●●ble as once was the good Bishop of Alexandria viz. To send their Pascha 〈◊〉 into all Parts of His Majesty'● Dominions to give Warning for the right Observation of EASTER which must prove a very great trouble But the Consideration of these things and of many other Consequences not readily foreseen hence arising I most humbly submit to the Wisdom of those in AUTHORITY over us in CHURCH and STATE who are if GOD so please able not only to Compass but Command so great and needful as well as useful a CORRECTION of the CALENDAR which we at this Day by Authority must and do follow though in it self very Erroneous and Defective According to this Essay for an Emendation of the CALENDAR I will here insert a TABLE for the true finding out the Dominical Letter and EASTER-DAY upon which all the other Moveable Feasts depend for Two hundred Tears yet to come Which if Authority shall vouchsafe to Approve of and Countenance may be continued for Ever 'T is this which follows Anno Christ Dom.
