How to find out the Golden number euery yeare. Chapter. 1.

THe Golden number is the number of 19. pro∣céeding from 1. to 19. and so to begin again at 1. And it is so called because it was sent in golden letters frō Alexandria in Aegypt to Rome: For in 19. yeares the Moon doth make all her sundry motions & changes, and returneth again to the place where she first began. And to finde the foresaid number the way is thus. Adde 1. to the yeare of the Lord wherof you inquire, and diuide the same by 19. and the remainder shall be the Gol∣den number for that yeare, as for example, being desirous this present yeare 1590. to knowe the Golden number, I adde 1 to the said yeare, and so make it 1591. which being diuided by 19. there remaineth 14. which is the Golden number of this present yeare.

But when there is no remainder, then 19 is the Golden num∣ber, and remember that the Golden number beginneth alwaies at the first of Ianuary, and the Epact the first of March.
