which is to be sound under the name of each re∣spective Moneth.
For example, I desire to know upon what day of the week the moneth of April begins, in the year 1623.
First I find by the Table in page 6. that the Domini∣cal Letter for that year is E. Then I guide my Eye down that Columne of the Table in page 7. where E. is at the top, and at the same time observe where April is in the Margent, and where the Line of April meets with the Columne E. there I find (Tuesday) which gives me to understand that April in the year 1623. begins on a Tuesday.
By the same Rule
The moneth of May in the year 1615. begins on a Munday.
The same moneth in the year 1616. began on a Wednesday; where it is to be noted that forasmuch as 1616 is a Leap year, I make use of the 2 Letter (F.) for the Table in page 7. which must always be ob∣served in Leap-years.
The moneth of September in the year 1537. began on a Saturday.
The moneth of July in the year 1471, began on a Monday.
The Moneth of December in the year 1642. began on a Thursday.
The moneth of August in the year 1781. will begin on a Sunday.
And so in all the rest.
