     In olden time the English people – for it did not seem fitting to me that I should speak of other nations' observance of the year and yet be silent about my own nation's – calculated their months according to the course of the Moon. [...] The first month, which the Latins call January, is Giuli; February is called Solmonath; March Hrethmonath; April, Eosturmonath [...] Decmeber, Giuli, the same name by which January is called.

     [original: Antiqui autem Anglorum populi (neq[ue] mihi videtur cōgruum aliorum gentium annalem observantiam dicere & meae reticere) iuxta cursum lunae suos menses computauere: [...] Primusq[ue] eorum mensis, quem Latini Ianuarium dicunt, dicitur Giuli. Deinde Februarius, Sol monath, Martius Rehd monath, Aprilis Costur monath, [...] December Giuli, eodem quo Ianuarius nomine vocatur.]]
