Rule is this:
In the dodge which is made between the four hindmost
bells every time the whole hunt leads, if the half hunt
and quarter hunt do dodge in fifth and tenors place, then
the next time the whole hunt leads, there's a single bob;
if they dodge in fourth and thirds places, then there's
a double bob that is, two bob-changes, one of which is
made the next time, the whole hunt leads after the dodge,
and the other is made the next time the whole hunt leads
after the former is made: He that does Ring the quarter
hunt, may give notice of every bob-change, by saying (Bob)
when the whole hunt is going to lead, which is a change
next before the bob is to be made.
There are certain Rules very convenient to be known by
all that practise to Ring this Peal; (viz.) he that does
Ring the whole hunt, must observe that the bell which he
first follows when he leaves the trebles place hunting up,
he must follow the same bell the next time he lies behind;
and the second bell which he follows in hunting up, he must
also follow the same bell when he next leaves the tenors
place hunting down; and likewise, the third bell which he
follows in hunting up, he must also follow the same bell when
he leaves the fifths place hunting down: For instance, in the
first change of the following Peal, the bells stand thus:
214365: here the treble (being the whole hunt) does first
follow the second, therefore when the treble has hunted up,
and lies behind, it follows the second again, as in this
change, 654321: And again, the second change of the following
Peal, is 241635: here the fourth is the second bell, which
the treble follows in hunting up, therefore he follows that
bell again the next time he leaves the tenors place hunting
down, as in this change, 563412: which course is observed
throughout the Peal. And in Ringing any other bell (beside
the whole Hunt) 'tis observed, that the next time you lie
before the bells after a bob, that bell which you first
follow in hunting up, you must also follow the same bell when
you lie behind; and the same bell you must first follow every
time you hunt up, and every time you lie behind, until the
next bob comes to be made, but if the whole hunt is the
second bell which you follow in hunting up, then you must
follow the whole Hunt when you lie behind; and the next time
you lead, and lie behind, you must follow the former bell as
before, until the bobs come to be made; and after the bobs,
the course is
