Note, That in a Bissextile or Leap. Year, the number of Sundays after
Epiphany will be the same as if Easter Day had fallen one day later than it
really does. And, for the same reason, one day must, in every Leap.Year, be
added to the day of the month given by the Table for Septuagesima Sunday,
and for the first day of Lent: unless the Table gives sone day in the month
of March for it: for in that case, the day given by the Table is the right day.
