Look in the table made of purpose, on the other side of this leaf, for the Epact, which is a number devised to know the change for ever. which number of Epact, standeth under this title Epact, and is right against the years of our Lord and to know the change of the moon do this, enter the table, and look for the number of the epact, for that year you would know the change, then reckon how many months are past from march unto the month you would know the change, reckoning march for one, and the month you are in for an other, as I would know on what day of the month of December 1594. the moon changeth: the Epact is xviij. from March to December are 10. months, (reckoning March and December for twoof the number) which 10. add to the Epact 18. which maketh 28. which 28. also take from 30. so rest 2. on which day the moon changeth. Note that the Epact beginneth in March. and not in january: so that january and February be the last in number of the 12. Note also, that if the numbers amount unto above 30. the 30, being cast out, the remain that is left must be taken from 30: if it be under 30, take that also from 30. and the remain is the day of the change of the moon. Notwithstanding, if there be 31. days in a month, then take the remain from 30. if but 30. days in the month, then take the remain from 29. as for example: the Epact 1594. is 18. from March to April 2. which added is 20. which 20. take from 29. (for April hath but 30. days) so rest 9 so I say the the Moon changeth the 9 of aprill 1594. By which rule you may know the change always, by heart knowing the Epact. An other rule for the change of the Moon by the Prime number. Look in the table made of purpose, on the other side of this leaf, for the golden number, or prime for the year, where you shall find for every year the several prime or golden number: having found it, look in that month wherein you will know when the moon changeth, for the same prime number, which prime number standeth first in every leaf, under the name of prime, & right against that day where the prime number standeth, on that day the Moon changeth: as for example, I would know on what day of the month of january 1594 the moon changeth? Look in the table for the year 1594. against which year standeth the prime number which is xviij. them turn to january, & look down along the numbers standing under prime, for xviij which is against the xii. day of januarie, on which day the moon changeth, so that by this rule you shall know when the moon will change any year to come, when you know the prime number. Note that the full moon is xiv. days .18. hours after the change, the quarter is seven. days ix. hours. january hath xxxi days.
