changes made in the Twenty-four; the half Hunt,
and three extream bells, makes the Twenty-four changes, and
every single change in this Peal, is a single change in the
Twenty-four.
This Peal may be rang Six-score several wayes; with one
whole Hunt, and half Hunt, it is to be rang six wayes
(i.e.) three wayes in hunting up the whole Hunt at the
beginning of the Peal, and the other wayes in hunting
it down; in which six wayes, the Extream Changes are
to be made by the same rule, and in the same manner,
as those in the Six-score Doubles and Singles on five
Bells, and _Paradox_ before set down; so that with the
twenty Hunts, it may be rang twenty times six wayes,
which makes Six-score.
In these Six-score wayes, the whole Hunt is before the
Bells when every single Change is made; but it may be rang
Six-score several wayes more, by making the single Changes
when the whole Hunt lies behind them, which being never
practised, I will say no more of it.
For the convenience and benefit of the Practitioner,
I have set down certain rules, shewing how to begin each
Peal of _Old Doubles_ (with any Hunt) by the former course
(i.e.) in making the single Changes, when the whole Hunt
lies before the Bells, these Rules serving only for moving
the whole Hunt at the beginning of each Peal, for it may
be hunted either up or down.
In hunting either the treble, third, or fifth Bells up,
the first change is made between the four foremost Bells,
thus.--
12345
21435
--The treble down, the first change is single in third and
fourths places, unless the half Hunt lies so, as that the
Extream is to be made.
--The third or fifth down, the first change is between
the four hindmost Bells, thus.--
12345
13254
--The second or fourth up, the first change is between
the four hindmost Bells.
--The second or fourth down, the first change between the
four foremost Bells.
In ringing any of these Peals, where the first change is
made between the four hindmost Bells, it must be made at
the Back-stroke, otherwise the Bells will cut Compass all
the way; every double change is made either between the
four foremost, or four hindmost bells.
