p, differs only in making the extream changes;
in one of the three wayes you must make an extream change
every time the hunt comes before the bells to lead, as in
the Twenty-four changes before set down. Another way is to
make an extream every time the hunt comes behind. And the
third way, is to make an extream every time the hunt comes
before and behind the bells. The three wayes in hunting it
down, are to be rang by making the extream changes, as in
the three wayes before; in hunting one bell, there are six
wayes to ring this Peal; therefore with the four bells (in
making each of them to hunt) there are four times six wayes
to ring it, which makes Twenty-four several wayes. And for
the benefit of the Learner, I have set down certain Rules,
shewing how to begin any of the aforesaid Peals (viz.)
In hunting either the treble or third up, the first change
is double; but in hunting either of them down, the first
is single.
In hunting the second or the fourth up, the first change
is single; but in hunting either of them down, the first
change in each Peal must be double.
Doubles and Singles on five Bells.
There is a Peal to be rang on five bells, called Doubles
and Singles, wherein are Six-score several changes, sixty
of which are double changes, and sixty are single; the double
and single changes are so intermixt, that two double changes
does not at any time come together in the Six-score; neither
are two single changes made next to each other in any part
of this Peal, but one change is double, and the next single,
in which course they are made to the end. Every double change
is made between the four foremost bells (i.e.) in treble,
second, third, and fourth places. When the whole hunt is
hunting up, each single change is made between the whole
hunt, and the next bell above it. In hunting down the single
changes are made between the whole hunt, and the next bell
below it, the whole hunt being alwayes one of the two bells
which makes every single change, except only when it leads,
and then the single change is made in third and fourths places;
but the extream is also a single change, and made (when the
whole hunt leads) between the two farthest extream bells
from the half hunt; the half hunt is to lie either before
or behind the extream bells, when the extream changes are
made, of which I shall shew you more anon.
In this Peal there is a whole hunt, a half hunt, and three
extream Bells; the whole hun
