meant, that the treble and second
are to move up towards the hindmost Bell, the first time
each removes at the beginning of the Peal; and the third
being the quarter _hunt_, is to move down the first time,
which are only directions for moving the _hunts_ at first,
because they may be hunted either up or down.
Sometimes it happens, that the _hunts_ cannot be hunted
that way which is proposed, as in the 720, treble, second
and third all down.--

The whole _hunt_ which is the treble, should now be hunted
down; but it being already before the Bells, insomuch that
it can be removed no lower; I should therefore remove the
half _hunt_ down, but that being also down as low as it
can go, I should move the quarter _hunt_; and that being
also down before the Extream Bells, I can move it no lower,
unless I should move it down under the second, which is the
half _hunt_, which must not be done; for when the quarter
_hunt_ is down next before the _Extream Bell_, it must be
removed no lower; and when it is up next behind _Extream
Bell_, it is to be removed up no higher; therefore it being
now before the _Extream Bell_, the _Extream Change_ is to
be made the first of all; and when that is done, the treble,
second and third must be hunted up in course. Or if you make
treble and second down, and third up, then the first Change
is to be made, by moving the quarter _Hunt_ up over one _Bell_.
And again, if you make Treble and Tenor both up, and Third
down, first hunt up the Treble, and then the Tenor, which
is the half _Hunt_, should be moved up; but it being already
behind, the quarter _Hunt_, which is the Third, must move
under one _Bell_, and then the whole _Hunt_ and half are
to hunt in course after each other: Many Examples of this
Nature I could set down, which for brevity sake I omit.
I might demonstrate how the 720 are to be Rang twelve wayes,
with each of the Six-score Hunts, as I did that of treble,
second and third; but I think that altogether needless, since
that Example makes it most plain and easie to be understood:
But I will give a general Rule for hunting any whole Hunt,
half Hunt, and quarter Hunt, so as to produce six several
wayes to Ring the 720 Changes, which is this:
Whole Hunt, half Hunt, and quarter Hunt, all hunted up.
Whole Hunt, and half Hunt hunted up, and quarter Hunt down.
Whole Hunt hunted up, half Hunt and quarter Hunt down.
Whole Hunt, half Hunt, and quarter Hunt hu
