two to those that
practise to Ring the Changes.

They that Ring the extream bells in the Twenty-four
changes, must mind and observe the motion of the hunt,
that they may the better know when to make the extream
changes; and likewise in a six-score on five bells,
he that Rings the half hunt, must observe the motion of
the whole hunt; and they that Ring the extream bells,
must observe the motions both of the whole hunt, and half
hunt, that they may know when the half hunt is to move,
and also when to make the extream changes; or else he that
does Ring the half hunt, may give notice of the extream
changes (by saying _Extream_) the change next before the
extream is to be made. The same is to be observed in the
changes on six bells. The whole hunt is the easiest bell
to Ring in any changes, the half hunt is more plain and
easie to Ring, than an extream bell. All changes are to
be Rang either by _walking_ them (as the term is) or else
Whole-pulls, or Half-pulls. By _walking_ them, is meant,
that the bells go round, four, six, eight times, or more,
in one change, which is commonly used by young Practisers;
it may be sometimes on five bells, Ringing the Twenty-four
changes on the treble, second, third, and fourth, the fifth
bell striking behind every change; and many other changes
of the like nature may be practised this way by young Ringers.
Whole-pulls, is to Ring two Rounds in one change, that is,
Fore-stroke and Back-stroke, and in a change; so that every
time you pull down the bells at Sally, you make a new change
differing from that at the Back-stroke next before; this
Whole-pulls was altogether practised in former time, but of
late there is a more quick and ready way practised, called
Half-pulls, which is--only one round in a change, that is, one
change made at the Fore-stroke, and another at the Back-stroke,
which way is now altogether in use (unless it be at some great
bells, which are too weighty to be managed up so high a Compass
at the Back-stroke, as Half-pulls requires) it being now a
common thing in _London_ to Ring the 720 _Changes_, _Trebles
and Doubles_, and _Grandsire Bob_, _Half-pulls_, (which is
commonly Rang with so round and quick a Compass, that in the
space of half an hour, or little more, the 720 Changes are
Rang out from the beginning to the end.) And also the Six-scores
_Doubles and Singles_, _Old Doubles_, _Grandsire_, and many
other cross Peals on five bells, are commonly Rang Half-pulls.
