The Primrose. 1 and 2.
The treble hath a perfect course as in plain changes. And when it hunts up out of the 2d place it makes two singles together, and the like when it hunteth down. When it leads, the single is in the 3d and 4th places, except when 2 lies next it, and then an extream behind. Every bell (except the treble) leads four times, and lies still behind untill the treble displaceth it, except at the extream.

New Doubles and Singles. 1 and 2.
One change is double, the next single, and so by turns. The treble hath a direct hunting course up and down as in plain changes, and every time it goeth to lead and leaves leading, the change is double on the two first and two last bells, the rest of the double changes are on the four first. The treble is one of the two bells that makes every single change except when it leads, and then the single is made in the 3d and 4th places; but when the 2 lies next the 1, then an extream is made behind. When the treble leaves the two first bells, they continue slow dogding until treble comes down and displaceth them. Every bell (except the treble) lieth twice in the 3d place.

When the treble leaves the two hind bells, they continue dodging untill it comes up again and displaceth them, and then they hunt directly down; the first to lead, and the other into the 2d place: that which moves to lead, having lead four times, gives place to the treble; but 123when the Treble hath done leading it takes the treble’s place again, and leads four times more and then hunts directly up; the other bell which moved down into the 2d place lies there twice, and then the Treble in hunting down moves it into the 3d place where it lies still, untill the Treble in hunting up moves it back into the 2d place, where having lain twice it hunteth up. This Peal is as musical, easie, and practical as any of this kind that ever was prickt.
The Faulcon. 1 and 2.
This Peal consists most of double changes. The treble hath a direct hunting course as in plain changes, and every time it hunts up and down it makes a single in the 3d and 4th places, and when it leads a single is also made there, but when 2 lies next it the extream is made behind. When the treble leaves the two first bells they continue there until it comes down again and displaceth them, but observe, when the treble moves into the 5th place, and again from thence, the double is on the two first and two last bells, by means of which the two first bells then 124dodg, but before and after they lie still. Every bell lies twice in the 3d place and then hunts up, except that which lies there when the treble leaves leading.

Merry Andrew. 1 and 2.
One change is double, the next single, and so by turns. The treble leads four times, lies behind four times, and twice in every other place. Every other bell leads 125four times. When the treble leaves the two hind-bells, they continue dodging untill it comes up again and displaceth them. Every single is made behind until the treble hinders, and then in the 2d and 3d places. When the treble leads and the 2d lies next it, then an extream is made in the 3d and 4th places.
When the treble goes to lead and leaves leading, the double is on the two first and two last bells, and when every other bell goes to lead and leaves leading, the double in on the four first.

May-day. 1 and 5.
One change is double, the next single, and so by turns. When the treble goes to lead and leaves leading, the double is on the two first and two last bells; and when every other bell goes to lead and leaves leading, the double is on the four first.
The treble hath a constant dodging course, for in its hunting up it first makes a dodg in the second and third places, and then another behind, and then it lies still one change in the 5th place; then in its hunting down it makes another dodg behind, and also another in the 2d and 3d places, and then leads four times. So that the treble in one of the two bells that makes every single until it leads, and then ’tis made in the 2d and 3d 127places, except when the 5th lies behind, and then an extream is made in the 3d and 4th places. When the treble leaves the two hind-bells they continue slow dodging, until it comes up again and displaceth them. Every bell leads four times.

St. Dunstan’s Doubles. 1 and 2.
The changes are all double except one single every 2d time the treble leads, there being six in the peal. The treble is a perfect hunt; and every time it goeth to lead and leaves leading, the double is made on the two first and two last bells, at which changes the bells in the 3d place lie still and then move down, and the two hind-bells at the same time dodg: but at other times all the bells have a direct hunting 128course. When the treble leads, and the 2d lieth either in the 2d or 3d places, then a single must always be made betwixt the two next extream bells to the 2d.

Church Doubles. 1 and 2.
The changes are all double except six singles as the former. The treble is a perfect hunt; and every time it moves up into the 5th place, and also out of it, the double is then made on the two first and two last bells, at which time the bells in the 3d place do lie still and then move up; and the two first bells at the same time dodg. When the treble leads, and the 2d lieth either in the 2d or 3d places, then a single must always be made betwixt the two next extream bells to the 2d.

In this and the former peal the singles may 129be made in another manner, viz. when the whole-hunt leads, and the half-hunt lieth either in the 4th or 5th places, a single must then be made betwixt the two next bells to the half-hunt; but at other times a double change to be made when the whole-hunt leads, as in the former way.
Stedman’s Principle.
The changes are all double, two singles excepted. One double is made on the two first and two last bells, the next on the four last, and so by turns successively; excepting every sixth change, which is double on the four first bells, and for distinction is called a Parting change. All the bells have a like course. The general method is this; the three first bells go the six changes, and the two hind-bells in the mean time dodg; then a Parting change is made which parts the two hind-bells, moving that in the fourth place down into the 3d, and that in the 3d place up into the 4th, and then the three first bells go the six again, the two hind-bells in in the mean time dodging as before; and then another Parting change is made, and so successively on. Every bell that comes behind 130continues there dodging six changes with one bell and six with another, and then in course the Parting change brings it down. One six cuts compass, the next doth not, and so by turns successively. In the six which cut compass the two first bells of the three makes the first change of it, but in the other the two last of the three. By this method the peal will go sixty changes, and to carry it on farther extreams must be made. An extream is made by the lying still of two bells when in course they should make a change, as before I have shewed more fully in the Introduction, page 90. but withall observing, that whereas in this peal the bells have all a like course, therefore they may all be termed extream bells, and consequently the extreams to be made according to this general rule, viz. the first extream may be made by any two bells that are in course to make a change within the compass of the first sixty changes of the peal; and the second extream must be made according to this rule. Whatsoever two bells are dodging behind at the first extream, when the same two bells come to dodg there again, is a certain warning for the second extream to be then made. And observe, how many changes the first extream is made from a parting change; so many likewise must the last 131extream be made after a Parting change also. And the single and extream comes in course each of them to be made in the same place 132and by the same bells at the last extream, as they were at the first. Here the singles are made behind, and the extreams in the 2d and 3d places; and as the 4th and 5th bells do dodg behind at the first extream, so likewise when they come to dodg there again, the second extream is then made, the treble leading at both of them, as appeareth in the peal here prickt.

The first Parting change is here made the third change at the beginning, and that six cuts compass.
In all the several ways of ringing this peal, if the Parting changes are made at the fore-stroke, as in course they are in this here prickt, then cutting compass is always on the same sixes, as in this peal: but when the Parting changes are made at back-stroke, then the contrary six always cuts compass to what doth here.

Peals upon Six Bells.
The single Method.
The changes are all single, and treble is the hunt. When the treble moves up out of the 2d place, the two first bells continue slow dodging untill the treble comes there again. And when the treble moves down out of the fourth place, the two hind-bells likewise continue slow dodging until the treble comes there again. When the treble leads, (if ’tis rung at half-pulls) the fore-stroke change (that is, at the third stroke of the treble’s leading) is made in the 3d and 4th places, the rest of the changes there are made behind. 134By this method it will go sixscore changes.

To ring 240. When the whole-hunt leads, and the half-hunt dodgeth behind; the fore-stroke change must then be made in the 2d and 3d places, as in this here prickt, where the 2d is the half-hunt and there are little marks set at the fore-stroke changes.
To ring 360. When the whole-hunt leads, and the half and quarter-hunts dodg behind, the fore-stroke change must then be made in the 2d and 3d places as before.
To ring 720. When the whole-hunt leads, and the half-hunt dodgeth behind, the fore-stroke change must then be made in the 2d and 3d places as before, except the quarter-hunt dodgeth there with the half-hunt, and then in the 3d and 4th places as at other times. The 2d an 4th, or the 2d and 6th may be the half and quarter-hunts, or others at pleasure.
“Note, in all the following peals upon six bells, the bobs are double changes, and always made at the leadings of the whole hunt (except No-nsuch Bob, for there the Bobs are made at the change wherein the whole-hunt goeth to lead, and not when it doth lead.) And whereas in the following 135peals the directions for calling bob runs thus; viz. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind, a Bob must then be made, &c. ’tis there implied, That whereas every time the whole-hunt leads, the two hind-bells then dodg; therefore when the half-hunt dodgeth there at the leading of the whole-hunt, a bob must then be made. And in like manner also must all the bobs in the following peals be made at the leading of the whole-hunt. He that rings the half-hunt may best call bob in all peals.”
A Cure for Melancholly.
Doubles and Singles. The Treble is the whole-hunt which leads four times, lieth behind as many, and twice in every other place. When it moves up out of the fourth place, the two bells in the third and fourth places continue dodging until it comes down there again, and then the two hind-bells dodg until the Treble displaceth them. The Treble is one of the bells which maketh every double change, except when it lieth still behind, and then the double is on the four first, and also when it leads the double is 136on the four last. Every single is made in the fifth and sixth places, except when the Treble lieth there, and then in the third and fourth places. Every bell except the Treble lieth four times in the second place. By this method it will go sixscore changes, but by making of bobs it will go 240, 360, or 720. The bob is a double change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the fourth place lieth still.

The Morning Exercise.
Doubles and singles. The treble is the whole hunt, and hunteth up into the 2d, 3d and 4th places, lying twice in each; then having made a dodg behind, it lyeth still in the sixth place, and then makes another dodg behind, and so hunts down in the same manner as it hunted up, and then leads four times. When the Treble moves down out of the fifth place, the two hind-bells dodge untill it comes up there again; during which time the bell in the 4th place lieth still. And when the Treble moves 138up out of the second place, each bell that comes there lieth four times, until the Treble comes down there again. Every single is made behind. By this method it will go 120 changes; and by making of bobs it will go 240, 360, or 270. At the bobs the bell in the 2d place always lieth still.

The Evening Delight.
Doubles and Singles. Treble is the whole-hunt and leads four times, lies behind four times, and twice in every other place, except in the 2d and 3d places where it makes a dodg every time it hunts up and down. Every other bell hath the same course with the whole-hunt; but observing, when they come down and have made a dodg in the second and third places, they lie still one change in the second place, and then make another dodg there, and so hunt up as the Treble did. But note, when the Treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, the bells in the third and fourth places lie still. Every single is made in the second and third places, and every bell lieth four times behind. By this method it will go 120, and by making of bobs it will go 240, 360, or 720. At the bob-change, the bell in the 4th place always lieth still.

Doubles. Treble is the whole-hunt, and hath a direct hunting course. When it moves up out of the third place, the bell that comes there lieth still until the Treble comes down there again; during which time the two first bells dodg. When the Treble leaves the two hind-bells, they dodg until the change wherein the Treble goeth to lead, and then one of them moves down; but as soon as that change is made, the two hind-bells dodg again until the Treble moves up and parts them. Every time the Treble leads, the double is made on the four hind-bells throughout the peal. By this method it will go sixty changes; and by making of bobs it will go 120, 180, or 360. The bob is always made at the change wherein the Treble goeth to lead, the two first and two last bells making it.

151These six peals will each of them go sixty changes without any bob, and by making of bobs each of them will go 120, 180, and 360. In three of them, viz. Triples Doubles and Singles, Single bob, and City bob, at the bob-changes the bell in the fourth place always lyeth still; whereas at the rest of the changes which are made at the leadings of the whole-hunt, the bell in the second place lieth still. And in the other three peals, viz. Triples doubles and singles dodging behind, Doubles and Triples, and London Bob, at the bob-changes the bell in the second place always lieth still, whereas at the rest of the changes that are made at the leadings of the whole-hunt, the bell in the fourth place lieth still. The warning for the bobs in the 120, 180, and 360, in each of these six peals is the same with that in the 120, 180, and 360 in Colledge Doubles, p. 143. Each of these peals will go 720 with two extreams, which must be made according to the rule in the Introduction, page 90.
In the 120 of each there prickt, viz., in City Bob, London Bob, and Triples doubles and singles, the 2 is the half-hunt, and in the other three peals the 3 is the half-hunt.
In the 180 and 360 of each peal, the 2 and 4 may be the half and quarter-hunts, or others at pleasure.
152
New Bob.
Triples and Doubles. The general method of this Peal is the same with Grandsire Bob, and the bobs also made as in that peal. It will go 120, 180, or 240, and by making of two extreams it will go 360 or 480; and with six singles it will go 720.
To ring 120. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind a bob must then be made.
To ring 180. Every time the half and quarter-hunt dodg together behind, a bob must then be made; and by making of two extreams it will go 360. The first extream may be made at the first, second, or third bob; observing to make the second extream at the third following bob from the first extream, where the singles in both must be made behind.
To ring 720. The bobs throughout the peal are made by the same rule as in the 120, but farther observing, when the whole and half-hunts come together before, if the quarter-hunt lieth either in the third or fourth places, then a single must be made betwixt the two next extream bells to the quarter-hunt.
The 2 may be the half-hunt and 4 the quarter-hunt, or others at pleasure.
153
Colledge Little Bob, dodging behind.
Triples and Doubles. The Treble is the whole-hunt, and hath a direct hunting course. When it moves down out of the fifth place, the two hind-bells dodg until it comes there again. All the bells have a direct hunting course, but observing, that when any bell moves up into the fourth place, if the Treble is then any where below it, it lies there twice, and then moves down again. By this method it will go sixty changes; and by making of bobs it will go 120, 180, or 360. At every bob-change the bell in the second place lieth still. The warning for the bobs is the same with that in Colledge Doubles, page 143. And the two extreams in the 720 must be made according to the rule in the Introduction, page 90.

This peal in practice will be found very plain and easie, and also good Musick.
Colledge Little Bob, dodging before and behind.
Triples and Doubles. The Treble hath a direct hunting course, and when it moves up out of the second place, the two first bells dodg until it comes there again; and also when it moves down out of the 5th place, the two hind-bells dodg until it comes there again. Every bell that moves up into the fourth place, if the Treble is any where below it, lies there twice and then hunts down; and also every bell that moves down into the third place, if the Treble is any where above it, lieth there twice, and then hunts up behind. By this method it will go sixty 155changes, and by making of bobs it will go 120, 180, or 360. At every bob-change the bell in the second place lieth still. The 2 is the half-hunt in the 120 here prickt, and 2 and 4 may be the half and quarter-hunts in the 120 and 360, or others at pleasure.

Court Bob.
Triples and Doubles. The Treble hath a direct hunting course. Every bell that comes before and behind makes a Dodg, then lieth still, and so moves away, except the bell that lieth still behind when the treble leads, and also that bell which leads when the Treble lieth behind, both which do dodg before and after their lying still, and then move away. When the treble leads and lieth behind, the double is made on the four middle bells. By this method it will go sixty changes; and with bobs it will go 120, 180, or 360. At the bob-changes the bell in the fourth place lieth still.

To ring 120. Every time the half-hunt maketh a change next the whole-hunt, a bob must then be made, as in this here prickt, where 2 is the half-hunt.
To ring 180. Every time the half and quarter-hunts make a change together next the whole-hunt, a bob must then be made.
To ring 360. Every time the half-hunt maketh a change next the whole-hunt a bob must then be made, except when a quarter-hunt makes a change there with it, and then not.
In the 180 and 360 2 and 4 may be the half and quarter-hunts or others at pleasure. The two extreams in the 720 must be made according to the rule in the Introduction. The first extream may be made either 157first, second, or third time that the half and quarter-hunts make a change together in the second and third places at the leading of the whole-hunt; and then the second extream must be made the third time following that those two bells make a change there again, the extreams being there made in the fourth and fifth places, and the singles in the second and third places.
Every time the Treble leads, the double may as well be made on the four hind-bells, and the bobs to be made as before; but the warning for them the same with Colledge Doubles.
Five Colledge Bobs.
In these five peals, the Treble is the whole-hunt, and hath a like dodging course in all of them. The general method of the five peals is as follows: viz.
Colledge Bob the first. When the Treble moves down out of the fifth place, the two hind bells dodg until it comes there again. Every bell leads twice, and then hunts up into the fourth place, unless the dodging course of the Treble hinders it, where it lieth twice and then moves down again; except the bell 158that dodged with the Treble before, and also that which leads when the Treble lieth still behind, both which hunt directly up. When the Treble moves down from dodging in the third and fourth places, the bell that dodged there with it continues in those two places, lying twice together in each by turns until the Treble comes to dodg there with it again.
Colledge Bob the second. Every bell when it comes to lead makes a dodg before, then it lyeth still one change, then it makes another dodg, and so moves up into the fourth place where it lieth still twice, and then down again; except it dodgeth with the Treble in the fourth place, and then it hunts up behind. But when the Treble moves down out of the third place, the two bells in the third and fourth places continue there until the Treble comes up there again, during which time the two hind-bells dodg.
Colledge Bob the third. When the Treble leaves leading, the two first bells dodg until it comes to lead again; except when the Treble dodgeth behind, for then the two first bells lie still. When the Treble leaves the two hind-bells, they lie still one change, dodg the next, and so by turns until the treble comes there again. The two middle bells always dodg until the Treble hindereth them.

Colledge Bob the fifth. When the Treble leaves the two hind bells, they dodg until it comes there again. And when it leaves the two first bells they lie still one change, dodg the next, and so by turns until it comes down there again; during which time the bells in the third and fourth places dodg except when the Treble hindereth them.
By these methods each of them will go 120 changes, and by making of bobs they will go 240, 360, or 720. In the first of them the bell in the second place lieth still at the bob-changes, and in 162the other four the bell in the fourth place always lieth still.
To ring 240. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind a bob must then be made, as in these peals here prickt; where, in the first peal the 4 is the half-hunt, and in the other four peals the 2 is the half-hunt.
To ring 360. Every time the half and quarter-hunts dodg together behind, a bob must then be made.
To ring 720. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind a bob must then be made, except when the quarter-hunt dodgeth there with it, and then not.
In the 360 or 720 of each peal the 2 may be the half-hunt, and 4 the quarter-hunt or others at pleasure.
The Experiment.
Triples and Doubles. The Treble is the whole-hunt, but never hunteth up farther than the fourth place, for the four first bells go Doubles and Singles; and every time the Treble leads an extream is made in the third and fourth places, according to the common course of doubles and singles upon, four bells; which course of doubles and singles 163must be continued, the two hind bells in the mean time dodging, until the making of the first Parting change, which will separate the two hind bells; and then the four first bells go the same course of doubles and singles again, the two hind bells dodging as before, until the making of the second Parting change, and so successively. The Parting change is a double change on the four middle bells, and made at the leading of the Treble. The first Parting change may be made either at the first second or third leading of the Treble, observing, that whatsoever bell in the first Parting change moves down to the Treble, when the Treble leads and that bell lieth next it again, the second Parting change must then be made. And whatsoever bell in the second Parting change moves down to the Treble when the Treble leads, and that bell lieth next it again, the third Parting change must then be made, and so successively. There being five Parting changes in the Peal, and as many half-hunts, each of the bells (the Treble excepted) taking that place one after another; and consequently, the five persons that ring them must call the Parting changes one after another as their turn comes, according to the aforesaid rule.
164
Changes upon Seven Bells.
The methods upon five may be prickt upon seven, observing but the true difference of proportion in the changes; that is, doubles upon five bells must be triples upon seven; doubles and singles upon five must be triples and doubles upon seven, &c.
Plain Triples.
All the bells have a direct hunting course. All peals upon six bells wherein half the changes are triples, will go upon seven according to this method here prickt; two of the changes upon six being always made at the leadings of the Treble, the six hindmost bells making them: the first is a triple change brought in by the course of the bells, and the next must either be double or single according to the method of the changes upon six.

Every time the Treble leaves leading, the bell in the third place lieth still, whilst the four hind bells dodg; but otherwise all the bells have a direct hunting course as Plain Triples. By this method it will go seventy changes, and by making of bobs it will go 350. The rule for the bobs is this; when the Treble goeth to lead, if the half-hunt lying before gives it 166place, then a bob must be made at that change, wherein the bell in the third place lieth still, and the four hind bells dodg; so that at every bob the four hind bells make two dodges before they part. By making of two extreams it will go 700, and with four extreams it will go 1400. But by making of intervening bobs it will go 700 compleat triples without any extream; 1400 with two extreams, and 2800 with four extreams. Any bell may be made a half-hunt.

When the Treble leaves leading, the two hind bells dodg until Treble parts them; but in all other respects ’tis the same with the former, and the bobs made in the same manner, and by the same rule as in that peal, and it will go as many changes also as that.

Each of these two peals by the method here prickt will go Eighty four changes; and then when the Treble leads, and the half-hunt lieth next it, a Parting change being then made, they will go 420. And by making of bobs they will go 5040. 2 may be the half-hunt, or any other at pleasure. The Parting 168change is a double on the four middlemost of the six hind bells.
’Tis plainly demonstrable, that the Principle upon five may go 420 triples upon seven, which is a twelfth part; 840, which is a sixth part; or 1260, which is a fourth part of the whole, and the utmost period of triple changes. And then by making of four extreams it may go 5040, the compleat peal.
Great variety of peals may be prickt upon seven: as Triples, Triples and Doubles, Triples Doubles and Singles; Doubles, Doubles and Singles, &c. But changes upon seven being seldom practised, I will therefore forbear to wast more paper in pricking down examples, and proceed to the changes on eight.
Changes upon Eight Bells.
Sixscores upon five bells are commonly rung upon eight, three bells lying behind. The most musical to lie behind are 218, 418, 148, 248, 348, 468, 648, 548, 864, 241, 321, and 135 to be laid behind, and then 1 and 3 to dodg throughout the peal. And also 184 to be laid behind, and to go the six changes thus, 814. 841. 169481. 418. 148. 184. 814. &c. and so on to the end of the sixscore. They may go the sixes either at whole or half-pulls. Peals upon six, as Triples and Doubles, &c. make exceeding good musick upon Eight, 48. 68. 41. or 18. lying behind. Or else Triples and doubles upon the six middle bells, the Treble leading, and the Tenor lying behind. And also Triples upon seven, the Tenor lying behind. But for such as have not yet attain’d the skill to ring these compleat peals, Sett-changes are very proper for them, being easie and rung with little difficulty.
Colledge Grounds.
The grounds of these sett-changes are of two kinds. First, placing of the bells Fifths, or secondly Thirds. To place them fifths; the 4 must hunt up behind the 7, the 3 behind the 6, and the 2 behind the 5. Or else the 5 may hunt down under the 2, the 6 under 3, and the 7 under 4. Or otherwise, first a single, then a double, and then a triple change to be made on the middlemost bells, all which are to one effect; for then the bells will lie fifths thus, 15. 26. 37. 48. Here are four Concords to be chiefly regarded in the 170peal. The first is 15. the second 26. the third 37. and the fourth is 48. These four Concords may go the methods of any changes upon four bells; 1.5 being taken for the Treble, 2.6 for the Second, 3.7 for the Third, and 4.8 for the Fourth; and the Concords to change places with each other at pleasure. Wherein ’tis observable, that the two notes of every Concord must constantly attend each other in their motion; that is, whensoever one of the two notes moves, the other must follow it. For example: admit they were to go the twenty four changes, and that 1.5 were to hunt up over 2.6, 3.7, and 4.8. first therefore it must move up over 2.6, wherein it makes four changes: for first, the 5 moves up over the 2 thus, 12563748, the 1 must follow it thus, 2156.37.48. Then the 5 moves up over 6. 2165.37.48. the 1 follows it again 26.15.37.48; here the two Concords have made a change. In which manner also 1.5 must move up over 3.7. and 4.8. And in this manner are the Concords to move and change places with each other throughout the peal. Or secondly, to place the bells thirds, the 64 and 2 must hunt up, or else the 357 down; or otherwise a triple, a double, and a single change to be made on the middlemost bells; all which are to one and the 171same effect, for then the bells will lie thirds thus, 13.57.24.68. Here are also four Concords principally to be regarded in the peal: the first is 1.3, the second 5.7, the third 2.4, and the fourth 6.8. These four Concords may also go the methods of any changes upon four bells, 1.3 being taken for the treble, 5.7 for second, 2.4 for the third, and 6.8 for the fourth, and they must move in the same manner as before I have shewed. By these Grounds great variety of excellent and Musical changes are to be rung. If they go the twenty four, then the peal will consist of four times that number, that is, ninety six changes. But they may go only the first eight changes of the twenty four, and then the peal will consist of thirty two. Or else the first eight changes of a twenty four doubles and Singles, which will consist of forty eight if the double changes of the twenty four are singled, otherwise but thirty two as before. Any Concord may be made a hunt and to move either up or down at the beginning: so that these Grounds afford great diversity. In the ringing of these Sett-changes the notes will lie sometimes fifths, sometimes thirds, and sometimes thirds and fifths, and then ’tis pleasant Musick to Clam them, that is, the two notes of each Concord to strike together; and 172if they are clam’d true, the eight bells will strike as if they were but four, but with far greater harmony. They may Clam two or three bouts, and then strike open as many, and so alternately; or else they may Clam one pull, open the next, and so on. To reduce the notes of the fifths to their right places again at the conclusion of the peal, either 234 must hunt down, or else 765 up; or otherwise a Triple double and single change to be made on the middlemost bells, all which are to one effect, and will bring the bells round. To reduce the thirds either move down 246 into their places, or else move up 753 into theirs; or otherwise make single, double, and triple change on the middlemost bells; all which are to one effect, and will bring the bells again round.
The methods of all peals upon six bells may be prickt upon eight, observing but proportion in the changes, according to the difference in the number of bells, viz. Triples and doubles upon six must be quadruples and triples upon eight. Doubles upon six must be Triples upon eight, &c.

Plain Quadruples and Triples. All the bells have a direct hunting course until the Treble leads, and then the six hindmost bells dodg. By this method it will go 112. And by making of bobs it will go 224, 336, or 672. The bob is a triple change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the 4th place lieth still.
To ring 224. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind, a bob must then be made.
To ring 336. Every time the half and quarter-hunts dodg together behind, a bob must then be made.
To ring 672. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind, a bob must then be made, except when the quarter-hunt dodgeth there with it, and then not. The 2 may be the half-hunt, and 4 the quarter-hunt, or others at pleasure.
By making of two extreams it will go 1344, and with four extreams it will go 2688.
174All peals upon six bells wherein half the changes are triples, will go upon eight according to the method before prickt, but after this manner. If it is a peal upon six, which consists of 360 or 720 changes, then in the ringing of it upon eight there must be five hunts. The Treble may be the first hunt; 2 the second &c. Now the method of the peal must go on according to that before prickt until the Treble leads, and the 2 lie next it, and then two of the changes upon six are always made, the six hind bells making them: the first is always a triple change brought in by the course of the bells thus, 12436587, and the second either double or single according to the method upon six; and the third fourth and fifth Hunts in eight, are the whole half and quarter-hunts in the changes upon six. By this method it will go 40320 compleat, but then every 112th change will be a double, and sometimes single in some peals. The bells may be brought round at 672 in some peals, but in others not till 1344.

Quadruples and Triples. The first hath single dodging behind; the second single dodging before and behind; the third double dodging behind; and the fourth double dodging before and behind. It may also be prickt a fifth way, viz. with single dodging before, and double dodging behind. And likewise a sixth way, viz. with doubled dodging before, and single dodging behind. The dodging is without intermission except when Treble hindreth, and also betwixt two bells until Treble parts them. By this method each of them will go 112, and by making of bobs they will go 224, 336, or 672. The bobs are triple changes at the leadings of the Treble; in the first second and sixth the bell in the 4th place lieth still at the bobs, and in the third fourth and fifth the bell in the 2d place lieth still. The warning for the bobs is the same with that in Bob-major next before. And the extreams made as in that peal, 2 may be the half and 4 the quarter-hunt in the four first, or others at pleasure.

By this method it will go 112, and by making of bobs it will go 224, 336, or 672. The bob is a triple-change at the leadings of the Treble, wherein the bell in the 4th place lieth still. The warning for the bobs is the same 177with that in Bob-major, and the extreams also the same as in that peal. The 2 may be the half-hunt, and 4 the quarter-hunt, or others at pleasure.

Triples. The fourth bell must first hunt up into the 7th place and then the 4 and 8 continually dodg behind throughout the peal, except when the Treble hindreth them. The bell that moves up into the 6th place when the Treble moves down from thence, lieth still there until the Treble displaceth it; during which time the two hind bells dodg, and the five first go a perfect hunting course. And also when the Treble moves up out of the 5th place, the five first bells go a hunting course until it comes down there again. By this method it will go eighty changes, and by making of bobs it will go 160, 240, or 480. The 178bob is a triple change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the 4th place lieth still.
To ring 160. Every time the half-hunt maketh a change in the 2d and 3d places, a bob must at the same time be made.
To ring 240. Every time the half and quarter-hunts make a change together in the second and third places, a bob must then be made.
To ring 480. Every time the half-hunt maketh a change in the second and third places, a bob must then be made, except when the quarter-hunt makes a change there with it, and then not. The 2 may be the half-hunt, and 6 the quarter-hunt, or others at pleasure.

The method of ringing this peal is the same in all respects with that next before, with this only difference. Every time the whole-hunt leads, the triple change is here made on the six middle bells, which parts the two hind-bells, and so introduceth them by degrees into the body of the peal. By this method it will go 112, and by making of bobs it will go 224, 336, or 672. The bob is a 179triple change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the 6th place lieth still. The warning for the bobs in the 224 is the same with that in the 160 next before. In the 336 ’tis the same with that in the 240 next before. And in the 672 ’tis the same with that in the 480 next before. 2 may be the half-hunt and 5 the quarter-hunt, or others at pleasure.
The Grand Experiment.
Quadruples and Triples. The Treble is the whole-hunt, but never hunteth up farther than the sixth place; for the six first bells go triples and doubles, it matters not of what sort, provided that the double changes at the leadings of the Treble are always made on the four hindmost of the six bells; which course of triples and doubles must be continued, the two hindmost of the eight bells in the mean time dodging until the first Parting change is made, which will separate the two hindmost bells; and then the six first bells go 180the same course of triples and doubles again, the two hindmost bells in the mean time dodging as before, until the second Parting change is made, and so successively. The Parting change is a triple change on the six middle bells, and made at the leadings of the whole-hunt. The first Parting change may be made either at the first second third fourth or fifth leading of the Treble; observing, that whatsoever bell in the first Parting change moves down to the Treble, when the Treble leads and that bell lieth next it again, the second Parting change must then be made. And again, whatsoever bell in the second Parting change moves down to the Treble, when the Treble leads and that bell lieth next it again, the third Parting change must then be made, and so successively; there being seven Parting changes in the peal, and as many half-hunts, each of the seven bells taking that place one after another. So that the seven persons that ring the 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th bells, must call the Parting changes one after another, according as the aforesaid rule directs them: or else he that rings the Treble may do it, but not so well as the rest. To ring it with such peals upon six bells which consist of single courses, it will go 420; with double courses 840. This peal may also be rung triples, 181that is, the six first bells to go doubles, the two hind bells in the mean time dodging, and the Parting changes to be made as before. But in ringing it with such Peals of Triples and Doubles, or else Doubles upon six bells, where the double change at every leading of the Treble is made in the 2d 3d 5th and 6th places, there, whatsoever two bells lie next the Treble at the first Parting change, the same two bells will lie next it at every Parting change, which will be a rule for calling them, there being only five Parting changes in it, which are triples as before. The first Parting change may also here be made either the first second third fourth or fifth time the Treble leads. If it is rung with peals upon six bells, consisting of single Courses, it will then go 300, with double Courses 600. This peal may also be rung by Concatenating of divers kinds of methods. For as the peal consists of several parts, viz. from one Parting change to the next, being accounted a compleat part; so each part may be rung by a different method from the rest. For any peals upon six bells, whether doubles, or triples and doubles, consisting either of single or double Courses, may indifferently be rung together in this peal, succeeding each other in the several parts of it, and at every Parting change a new 182method to begin. Or else any two of them to succeed each other alternately throughout the parts of the peal, or more or less at pleasure. But still observing, that all that are rung together in one peal must be such, where the doubles at the leadings of the Treble are made on the four hindmost of the six bells; or else all of them such, where the doubles at the leadings of the Treble are made in the second and third, and the fifth and sixth places. If they are of the first kind, then there will be seven Parting changes in the peal, and as many half-hunts; and the half-hunts must successively call the Parting changes as before I have shewed: if of the later kind, then but five Parting changes, which must be call’d by the same rule as before I have shewed in ringing it with one peal of this kind. And also observing, if the first Parting change is made at the first second third or fourth leading of the Treble, then whatsoever method it goes at first, it must also go the same again after the last Parting change is made. But in ringing it with peals of the first kind, the second being made the first half-hunt, and to call the first Parting change; and with peals of the later, the 3d likewise: then the last Parting change in either of them will conclude the peal.
183This peal may go the method of the Experiment upon six bells, page 162, that is, the four first bells to go the Twenty four Doubles and Singles as in that peal; and the four hindmost bells in the mean time to dodg double. The Parting changes are triples on the middle bells, and the same rules observed in making and calling them, as in that peal: but here are seven of them in this, and 168 changes.
The Experiment upon six may also be rung Comprehensively herein. The six first bells to go that compleat peal, the two hindmost of the eight bells in the mean time dodging; and every time the 3d bell comes to call the Parting change on six, then instead of it a Grand change must be made, that is, a triple on the six middle bells: and then the six first bells to go the compleat peal again, the two hindmost bells in the mean time dodging as before, untill the third bell calls another Grand change, and so successively; there being three of them in the peal, and 360 changes. If the bells are placed 23567148 at the beginning, the 4.8 will dodg behind the first sixscore of it, 4.1 the second, and 1.8 the third, and then the 5th may call the Grand changes in the place of the 3d; or any other three bells may be laid behind at first, for the 184sake of Musical dodging. The first Grand change may be made either at the first second third fourth or fifth Parting change, observing, that whatsoever bell at the first Grand change should then in course have call’d a Parting change, every time that bell comes to call a Parting change, it must call a Grand change in the place of it: or else any one of the six first bells (the whole-hunt excepted) may be appointed beforehand to attend the calling of the Grand changes, observing, that every time that bell comes to call a Parting change, a Grand change must be call’d in the place of it.
Imperial Bob.
Quadruples and Triples. The Treble hath a dodging course. The two first and two last bells always dodg until the Treble hindreth them, and in the mean time the two next bells to those dodging bells do lie still one change, dodg the next, and so by turns until the Treble also hindreth them. And the two bells in the fifth and sixth places whilst the Treble is behind, and those in the 3d and 4th places when ’tis before dodg, until Treble likewise hindreth them. By this 185method it will go 224, and by making of bobs it will go 448, 672, or 1344. The bob is a triple change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the fourth place lieth still.
