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.
