The fifth being now before the bells, there is another
change in the Twenty-four to be made between the treble
and third, as in this change.--

The fifth is now to hunt up, and the tenor to hunt down
again, in which course they continue to the end of the
Peal, observing to make an extream change, when the
treble (which is the hunt in the Twenty-four) comes
before or behind the extream bells.

This Peal may be Rang by making the Twenty-four changes
Doubles and Singles, in the place of the Twenty-four plain
Changes, and many other wayes, which I leave to the Learner
to practise.
The Variety of Changes on any Number of Bells.
The changes on bells do multiply infinitely. On two bells
there are two changes. On three bells are three times as
many changes as there are on two; that is--three times two
changes, which makes six. On four bells there are four times
as many changes as on three; that is--four times six changes,
which makes Twenty-four. On five bells there are five times
as many changes as there are on four bells; that is--five
times Twenty-four changes, which makes Six-score. On six
bells are six times as many changes as there are on five;
that is--six times Six-score changes, which makes Seven-hundred
and twenty: And in the same manner, by increasing the number of
bells, they multiply innumerably, as in the Table of Figures
next following; where each of the Figures in the Column of the
left hand, standing directly under one another (which are
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.) do represent the number of
bells; and the Figures going along towards the right hand,
directly from each of those twelve Figures, are the number
of changes to be rung on that number of bells which the
Figure represents: For Example, the uppermost Figure on the
left hand is 2, which stands for two bells; and the Fig
