How to fynde by this Table, the signe where the Moone is for euer.

SEke oute vnder the titles of the monethes, the name of the mo∣neth, whose daye you must looke oute, right agaynste the mo∣neth, vnder the title of dayes: and there begynne to tell doune war∣des, one, two, thre, &c. to the ende, if it so requyre. And then from the beginning, if nede be, vntill you haue reconed the numbre of the daye that youseke. Loke what numbre it falleth vpon in this table, vnder the title of dayes: that numbre kepe in mynde. Then seke vnder the title of the prime, the golden numbre for that year: right agaynst that lestward, vnder the title of dayes, begyn to tell dounewardes, one, two, thr••, foure, &c, vntill you haue reconed the numbre, whiche you did kepe in mynde. Agaynste that doune∣wardes, on your right hande, vnder the title of Signes, is the signe wherein the Moone shalbe that daye.

I begynne here to tell, right agaynste my moneth, at the figure of. 2. sayeng: one, two, thre, &c. so I haue at the ende, and compte of syx dayes this figure 7. which I kepe in mynde. Nowe I must seke oute the golden numbre, for the yeare aforesayde, vn∣der the title of the prime here, that is 17: agaynst the whiche, on the left syde is 6. There you must begynne agayn to compte, one, two, thre, &c. vntill you come vnto your numbre 7. So on youre right hande, in the rowe, or order, you shall see Virgo, the celestial signe, that the Moon, is in: and after that these thre letters, b, b, b, whiche declare badde or euell to let bludde, to pourge or bathe, agreable to the titles in the head.
