Petrus a quinta decima luna usque ad vicesimam primam diem paschae Dominicum celebrabat; quod vos non facitis, qui a quarta decima usque ad vicesimam lunam diem Dominicum paschae observatis: ita ut tertia decima luna ad vesperam saepius pascha incipiatis, cuius neque Lex ullam fecit mentionem, neque auctor ac dator Evangelii Dominus in ea, sed in quarta decima vel vetus pascha manducavit ad vesperam, vel novi testamenti sacramenta in commemorationem suae passionis ecclesiae celebranda tradidit.
Peter celebrated the Lords Easter day from the 15th day of the change of the moon until the one-and-twentieth day; which you follow not, which keep the Lords Easter day from the 14th day of the moon until the 20th: so that oftentimes you begin Easter in the 13th day of the change of moon at evening, of which neither hath the Law made any mention, neither did the Lord, the maker and giver of the Gospel, on that day, but on the 14th, eat either the old Passover in the evening, or hand down the sacraments of the New Testament to be celebrated of the Church in commemoration of His passion.
