y
changing Four, _i.e._ Two to make one Change and two another; which is
however called _One double Change_, and not two Changes; because tis
made in striking the Notes of the _Bells_ once round.

_Of Cross-peals._

Or in these _Cross-peals_ we must Observe the _prime Movement_, which
sets the whole Frame a going, and that is called the _Hunt_, which hath
_one constant Uniform Motion throughout the Peal_, and different from
that of the other Notes; and indeed by this the whole Course of the Peal
is Steered. This keeps a continual motion through the other Notes,
_i.e._ from leading, to strike behind, and from thence again to Lead;
which is called one _compleat Course_.

Some Peals upon _five Bells_ consist of single Courses, wherein are ten
Changes, and twelve Courses make the Peal. Others upon five consist of
double Courses, wherein are twenty Changes to every Course, and six
Courses in the Peal.

Upon _six Bells_ there are likewise _single_ and _double_ Courses,
_viz._ Twelve Changes in every single Course, as in _Grandsire-bob_,
_&c._ and Twenty-four Changes in every double Course, as in _College
Bobs_, that being the first Change of every Course, wherein the _Hunt_
leaves Leading: In short, judiciously observe the first Course of any
_Cross-peal_, and you will soon see the general Method of the whole
Peal: All Courses in Cross-Peals agreeing in these following three
Respects. First, _In the Motion of the Hunt_. Secondly _In the motion of
the rest of the Notes_: And Thirdly, _In making the Changes_. Which
three things being well (to omit Instance of Demonstration) and
narrowly observed, will be very helpful both in pricking and ringing
Courses; the first and third for directing you in Pricking them, and the
first and second in Ringing them.

There is one Difficulty to be removed e're I can come to prick down
those Peals I design to be the Subject of the Discourse of this
_Epitome_, and that is, _How to make the first Changes at the beginning
of each Peal_; I mean to make the _Second_, _Third_, _Fourth_, &c.
_whole Hunts_; and this In short is thus directed: In any _Cross-peal_
the _whole Hunt_ may move either up or down at the beginning; and the
Motion of the _whole Hunt_, in the first Course of each of the following
Peals will direct the first Motion of any _Cross-Hunt_, and by
Consequence of making the first Changes in that Peal. Taking along with
you this Observation.

That whensoever the first Change of
