o each others places, as in
these _two Figures_ 1, 2. make a _Change_ between them,
and they will stand 2, 1. which is called a _Change_;
make another _Change_ between them, and they will stand in
their right places, as at first, 1, 2. These _two Changes_
are all that can be made on _two Bells_.
The _Changes_ on three Bells.
On _three Bells_ there are _six several Changes_ to be made;
in _Ringing_ of which, there is _one Bell_ to be observed,
which is called the _Hunt_, and the other two are _Extream
Bells_ (but they cannot properly be so called, because every
_Bell_ _hunts_ in the _six Changes_; yet because 'tis commonly
_Rang_ by observing a _Hunt_ and _two Extream Bells_, I will
therefore proceed in that course.) The name of _Hunt_ is
properly given to it, because of its continual motion up
and down amongst the other _Bells_, which motion is called
_Hunting_, and the other _two_ are called _Extream Bells_,
because when the _Hunt_ is either before or behind them,
that is at the _Extream_, or utmost place, there is a _Change_
then to be made between them, called an _Extream Change_.
There are two several wayes to _Ring_ the _six Changes_.
One whereof is to make the _Treble_ the _Hunt_, and the
other way is to make the _Tenor_ the _Hunt_. I will give an
Example in _hunting_ the _Treble_, the _Bells_ are supposed
to stand thus.--
123
Now the _Treble_ must be _hunted_ up over the _Second_
and _Third_, which is to be done, by making a _Change_
between the _Treble_, and each of those two Bells in order;
therefore first I remove the _Treble_ up over the _Second_,
into the _seconds_ place, by making a _Change_ between the
_Treble_ and _Second_, thus.--
213
The _Treble_ being removed up over the _Second_, it must
next be removed up over the _Third_, as in this _Change_.--
231
Alwayes observe, that when the _Hunt_ moves from the
foremost _Bell_ toward the hindmost, then it _hunts_ up,
as in the _Changes_ next before; but when it moves or _hunts_
from the hindmost Bell, toward the Bell that leads, then it
_hunts_ down, as appears by the _Changes_ following. The
_Treble_ being _hunted_ up behind the _Extream_ Bells, an
_Extream Change_ is next to be made between them.--
