any Peal happens to be _single_, it
must be made at the back-stroke, to prevent _cutting Compass_, and the
like when a double Change happens first in a Peal of _Triples and
doubles_: But when it happens, that the first Change is made at the
Back-stroke, then Consequently the Bells at the end of the Peal will
come round at a Fore-stroke Change.
I shall omit speaking to any of the several Peals on _four or five
Bells_; for that in my opinion little _Musick_ is heard, though much
_Practical Observation_ is made, from them; and therefore shall begin
with _Grandsire-bob_, as having mentioned it but just before in my
general View I made of _Cross-peals_.
_Grandsire Bob._
_Bob_ Changes take their Name from this; _viz._ When the _Treble_ leads
in the _Second_ and _Third_, and the _Fifth_ and _Sixth's_ places, then
they are called _Bob-changes_. In Ringing which you are to observe these
Rules, _viz._
Whatsoever Bells you follow when you _Hunt up_, the same Bells in the
same order you must follow in _Hunting down_; as in the Changes here
prickt, where the _Treble_ hunting up _First_ follows _Second_, then
_Fourth_, and then _Sixth_; when it comes behind, _First_ follows
_Second_, in hunting down _Fourth_; and when hunting up follows _Sixth_
in the same Order: The like may be observed in Ringing any other Bell,
with this Difference betwixt the whole Hunt and the rest, _viz._ Every
time the Whole hunt leaves the _Treble's_ place, and hunts up, it
followeth different Bells, from what it did at its first hunting up.
In the ensuing Peal here prickt are _Eighteen-score_ Changes, wanting
one. It may be Rung with any _Hunts_, and begin the Changes _Triple_ and
_Double_: You may make your extream at the first, second, or third
_single Bob_; or the first, second, or third time, that the half and
_Quarter-hunts_ dodge behind; the _single_ must be made behind in either
of these.
