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 first, 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 that 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 fourth._ When the Treble leaves the two hind bells, they dodg until it comes there again; and then the two first bells dodg until the Treble gives way for the two hind bells to dodg again, and then the two first bells cease dodging.

_Colledge Bob the Fifth._

_123456_│ 632514 214365 │ _&c._ 124356 │ 163542 213465 │ _bob_ 231456 │ 136524 324165 │ —————— 321456 │ 163425 234165 │ _bob_ 324615 │ 136452 236451 │ —————— 234615 │ 163254 326451 │ 162345 234651 │ —————— 326415 │ 126543 324651 │ 125634 236415 │ —————— 326145 │ 152436 231654 │ 154263 236145 │ —————— 321654 │ 145362 312645 │ _bob_ 136254 │ 154326 316245 │ —————— 132654 │ 145623 136245 │ _bob_ 312654 │ 154632 132645 │ —————— 316254 │ 145236 361245 │ 142563 632154 │ —————— 631245 │ 124365 362154 │ 123456

_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 the 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_ must 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.

_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_.

_Dodging Triples._

_Triples_ and _Doubles_ upon _six_ may also go upon _seven_, according to this method here prickt, but in the same manner as the former.

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 place, 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_.

_Colledge Bob, Triples: the second way._

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_ change 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. 481. 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 peal. 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 same 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 if 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.

All 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.
