_Set-Changes_, which are founded on these _Grounds_.

First, _Placing the Bells Fifths_; thus: The 4 must hunt up behind
the 7, the 3, behind the 6, and the 2 behind the 5; Or the one may hunt
down under the other, as the 5 under the 2, the 6 under 3, and 7
under 4: Or if you will, first let a _Single_, next a _Double_, and then
a _Triple_ Change be made on the Middle _Bells_, all coming to the same
effect; for then the Changes will lye _Fifths_ thus, 1 5, 2 6, 3 7, 4 8.
In the Peal four _Concords_ are to be regarded, The first 1 5; the
second 2 6. the third 3 7. and the fourth 4 8.

These four _Concords_ may go the Methods of any Changes upon four
_Bells_; 1, 5 being taken for the _Treble_; 2, 6 for the _Second_; 3, 7
for the _Third_; and 4, 8 for the _Fourth_; and the _Concords_ may
Change places with one another, as you list. In which this Observation
is highly necessary, That the two Notes of every Concord must constantly
attend each other in their Motion; that is, whenever one of the two
Notes moves, the other must follow it.

Or Secondly, _Place the Bells_ Thirds; thus: The 6 4 and 2 must hunt up,
or else the 3 5 7 down; or otherwise on the middle most _Bells_ let a
_Triple_, _Double_ or _Single_ Change be made, they are to one effect;
and then the _Bells_ will lie _Thirds_ thus, 1 3. 5 7. 2 4. 6 8. Herein
are four _Concords_ observable; as in the former Peal, _viz_, 1 3. 5 7.
2 4. 6 8. These _Concords_ may go the Methods of any Changes upon Four
_Bells_, 1, 3 being taken for the Treble; 5, 7 for the Second; 2, 4 for
the third; and 6, 8 for the fourth; moving in the same manner as before
shewed.

By these _Grounds_ Variety of excellent & Musical Changes are to be
Rung; _Any Concord may be made a Hunt_, and to move up and down at the
begining.

In Ringing these _Set-Changes_, the Note will lye sometimes _Fifths_,
sometimes _Thirds_, and sometimes _both_, and then to _Clam_ them, is
admirable Musick: Clamming is, when each _Concord_ strike together;
which being done true the 8 will strike as but four _Bells_, & make a
Melodious Harmony. You may _Clam_ two or three bouts, and then strike as
many times Open, alternatively, one _Clam_ one Pull, and Open the next,
_&c._

Thus much shall suffice for my treating of Ringing, and had not the
Variety of its _Theme_, in which I was insensibly engaged, invited my
Tast of something of every thing: I had not enlarged so much as I have;
but I hope the pleasure it ma
