likewise an Acceptance amongst other
_Cities_; provided their _Steeples_ are furnished with as many, and as
good _Bells_, and their _Belfree's_ with as ingenious and elaborate
_Ringers_ as here in _London_.
I shall begin then with _Peales upon Six Bells_, and herein in order,
measure out the Delights on _Peals_ from _Six_ to _Eight_ Bells, and
setting out early, present you with
_The Morning Exercise._
_Doubles_ and _Singles_. The whole _Hunt_ is the _Treble_, which
_Hunteth_ up into the _Second_, _Third_, and _Fourth_ places, lying
twice in each; and then lyeth still in the _Sixth_ place, having dodged
behind, and makes another, and then _Hunts_ down as it _Hunted_ up, and
then leads four times. Observing the manner of its Pricking, and its
Practice, may excuse any further defining it.

_A Cure for _Melancholy_._
_Doubles_ and _Singles_.
I should think it needless to explain the method of prick'd Peales, and
give a large Definition of them, when their plain Demonstration might be
sufficient; However, as the Old _Phrase_ is, _Because 'tis usual_,
something shall be said of this too.
The _Treble_ is the whole _Hunt_, as in the former, and leads four
times, and lyeth behind as many, and twice in every other place; the two
_Bells_ in the 3d. add 4th. places continue dodging, when the _Treble_
moves out of the 4th. place; untill it comes down there again, and then
the two hindmost dodge, till the _Treble_ displaceth them; who maketh
every double _Change_, except when it lieth behind, and then the double
is on the four first, and on the four last when it leads. Every Single
