Part 7

One change is _double_, the next _single_, and so by turns. The motion of the _whole-hunt_ is after this manner: first, it moves up into the _2d_ and _3d_ places, lying twice in each; then it moves up and makes a dodg behind, and then lieth still one change in the _5th_ place; then it makes another dodg behind, and so moves down into the _3d_ and _2d_ places lying twice in each as before, and then leads four times. Every other bell hath a like course and motion with that of the treble until the leadings of the treble, and then observe, that every time the treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, the _double_ change is made on the two first and two last bells, except when it goeth to lead if the _half-hunt_ lies next it, and then not. Every bell leads four times, and every _single_ is made behind. The change wherein each bell leaves leading, is always made on the four first bells, except as before.

What you please, _Doubles and Singles._

Every bell leads four times, and lies behind twice, except when the _extream_ is made behind; and twice in the second place, except when the _extream_ is made before: and note, when the treble is before the fourth stroke, the _single_ is in the _2d_ and _3d_, the next time the _single_ is behind; but at other times the _single_ is in the _3d_ and _4th_ places. When any bell leaves leading the _double_ change is on the two first and two last, and the _extreams_ are made by turns, first behind, then before, and so on to the end, for there are six _extreams_.

_Old Doubles. 1 and 2._

The changes are all _double_, except one _single_ every time the treble leads. The treble hath a perfect hunting course as in plain changes, and every other bell hath a like hunting course with that of the treble until the treble leads, and then a _single_ is made in the _3d_ and _4th_ places; but when the 2 lies next the treble, the _single_ is behind which is call’d _extream_.

_New Doubles. 1 and 2._

The changes are all _double_, except one _single_ at every leading of the treble. The treble hath a perfect hunting course as in plain changes; and when it moves up from leading, the two first bells dodg untill it comes down again and displaceth them. Every bell that comes into the _3d_ place lies there twice, and then moves up behind; but the bell which lies there when the treble leaves leading, moves down. Every bell lies twice behind, except at the changes wherein the treble goeth to lead and leaves leading. Every time the treble leads, a _single_ change is then made in the _3d_ and _4th_ places; but when the 2 lies next the treble, an _extream_ behind.

_Reding Doubles. 1 and 2._

The treble hath a direct hunting course as in plain changes, and when it moves up from leading the two first bells dodg until it comes down again and displaceth them; and whilst they dodg before, every bell that comes down into the _3d_ place lies there twice, and then moves up again behind. But after the dodging all the bells go a direct hunting course up and down, until the dodging again hindreth them as before. Every bell lies twice behind, except when the treble leaves leading if the _2d_ lies next it, and then the _double_ is made on the two first and two last bells; by which means the two hind-bells then make a dodg, which happens in course once in twenty changes, that is, every second time the treble leaves leading. By this method it will go sixty changes, and then an _extream_ must be made. The _extreams_ in this peal may be made according to the preceding general rule set down in the _Introduction_. Here the first _extream_ is made at the end of sixty changes, the bells lying 1 3 2; and when they come to lie so again, the second _extream_ must be made; the _extream_ is made behind, two of the _extream_ bells lying there, and the _single_ is made in the _2d_ and _3d_ place at both the _extreams_.

_Grandsire. 1 and 5._

The treble hath a direct hunting course as in plain changes, and every other bell hath also a like hunting course with that of the treble except when the _bobs_ hinder. The _bobs_ are double changes, and made on the two first and two last bells according to this rule, _viz._ every time the _treble_ goes to lead and leaves leading, a _bob_-change is then made, except the _5th_ lying next it makes a change there with it, and then not. Now ’tis observable, that once in twenty changes, that is, at every second leading of the treble, the _5th_ lies next it, and consequently there is but one _bob_-change then to be made, but at other times two; so that at one leading of the treble there is but one _bob_-change made, at the next leading there are two, and so successively by turns, which for distinction may be call’d _single_ and _double bobs_, The two bells that dodg behind at a _bob_ continue there dodging until the treble comes up and displaceth them, and at every _bob-change_ the bell in the _3d_ place lieth still, and then moves down to lead. By this method it will go sixty changes; and to carry on the course _extreams_ must be made, there being two in the peal. The manner of making an _extream_ I have at large shewed in the _Introduction_, and the _extreams_ may here be made in any place according to the general rule there set down. The easiest way in practice is to make them at the leadings of the treble; at any single _bob_ it maybe made behind, two of the _extream_ bells lying there, and to lie still whilst the bells in the _2d_ and _3d_ places do make the _single_ change: at any double _bob_ it may be made in the _2d_ and _3d_ places, so that the _single_ must there be made behind. If the first _extream_ is made at the single _bob_, the second must be made at the third following single _bob_; or if the first is made at a double _bob_, the second must be made at the third double _bob_ following, as in this peal here prickt, where the first _extream_ is made at a double _bob_, and the second also made at the third following double _bob_.

This peal will go with any _hunts_, and to begin it on the four hind bells; but then in ringing it at half-pulls, the first change being made at back-stroke to prevent cutting compass, the bells at the end of the peal will come round at a fore-stroke change. Therefore the better way is to begin it on the four first bells, which may also be done with any _hunts_, excepting 1.3, 1.5. and 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, wherein the first change of each may be a _bob_. And observe, that in any way of beginning it, the bells must all proceed in such a perfect hunting course as the first change directs them, until the first _bob_ comes to be made.

_Old Triples and Doubles._

One change is _triple_, the next _double_, and so by turns, except one _single_ at the end of every sixty changes. Every _triple_ change is made on the two first, the two middle, and two last bells; and every _double_ is made on the four middle bells, except when the _hunt_ leads and then on the four hind bells. Treble is here the _hunt_, and hath a direct hunting course up and down as in plain changes: the rest of the bells have also a direct hunting course up and down except when the treble leads, and then each bell that was hunting up (except that in the _2d_ place) makes a dodge with the next bell below it, and then proceeds forward again in its course up; and each bell which at the same time was hunting down, makes a dodg with the next bell above it, and so proceedeth forward in its course down; which method will carry on the peal five _courses_ of the _hunt_, that is sixty changes as they are here prickt.

In the 120 there is also a _half-hunt_; and when the _whole-hunt_ leads and the _half-hunt_ lies next it, a single change must then be made, either in the _3d_ and _4th_, or _5th_ and _6th_ places; but observing when the _half-hunt_ comes again to lie next the _whole-hunt_, another single change must be made in the same place where the first was made. These single changes are called _extreams_, there being two in every _sixscore_, and the last of them always falls out in course to be made just 60 changes from the first, that is, at the fifth leading of the whole _hunt_ after the first _extream_.

In the 240 there is also a _half-hunt_; and when the _whole-hunt_ leads, and the _half-hunt_ lies next it, a single change being then made in the _4th_ and _5th_ places, will bring the bells round at _twelvescore_, there being four _singles_ in the peal, one of which falls in the course at the end of every sixty changes.

In the 720 there is a whole, half, and quarter _hunt_, and every time the _whole-hunt_ leads and the _half-hunt_ lies next it, a single change must then be made in the _4th_ and _5th_ places as in the _twelvescore_; but when the _quarter-hunt_ lies next the _half-hunt_, that is, when the three _hunts_ come together before, (which always happen at the end of every _twelvescore_) then the _single_ must be made behind, which is call’d _extream_, there being three of them in the peal.

The _sevenscore and four_ triples and doubles are the same with the former except at the leadings of the treble, and then a _single_ is always made in the _3d_ and _4th_ places; but when the 2 lies next the treble, an _extream_ is made in the _4th_ and _5th_ places. This peal is grounded on the _twenty four_ doubles and singles, the four middle bells making them at the leadings of the treble.

_Grandsire Bob. 1, 2 and 4._

The general method of this peal is the same with that next before, but with this difference; whereas in that peal _singles_ were made at the end of every sixty changes to carry on the course, in this there are _double_ changes made in their stead, which are called _Bob_-changes, and made when the treble leads in the _2d_ and _3d_ and the _5th_ and _6th_ places, whereas at other times the _double_ is there made on the four hind bells.

The Practitioner may observe these rules in the ringing of it, _viz._ whatsoever bells he followeth when he hunteth up, he must follow the same bells again, and in the same order, the next time he hunts down, as in these changes here prickt; where the treble in hunting up first follows 2, then 4, and then 6; and when it comes behind, first it follows 2 again, then in its hunting down it follows 4 and 6 in the same order as when it hunted up; which is also observed in the ringing of any other bell, but with this difference betwixt the _whole-hunt_ and the rest of the bells, _viz._ Every time the _whole-hunt_ leaves the _treble’s_ place and hunts up, it followeth different bells from what it did in its former hunting up, as may be seen in this example: where in its first hunting up it first follows 2, then 4, then 6; whereas in the next hunting up it first follows 3, then 2, then 4. But the first time any other bell leads after a _bob_, whatsoever bells it then follows in its hunting up, it follows the same bells likewise and in the same order every time it hunts up, and consequently every time it hunts down unto the next _bob_; as in this example, where 2 in its first hunting up, first follows 4, then 6, then 5, and likewise when it next hunts up it follows 465 as before, _&c._ But when the _whole-hunt_ is the second bell which he follows in hunting up, he must follow it again when he next lies behind.

_123456_ 214365 241635 426153 462513 645231 654321 563412 536142 351624 315264 132546 135264 312546 321456 234165 243615 426351 462531 645213

’Tis observable, that at every leading of the treble the two hind bells dodg; and whensoever the _half-hunt_ dodgeth there, a _bob_ must then be made, except the _quarter-hunt_ dodgeth there with it, and then not; which is an infallible rule, by which he that rings the _half-hunt_ may always give notice of the _bobs_ as well when the peal is inverted, as in the ordinary way of ringing it. The _bobs_ fall out in course single and double, the one single, the next double; and so by turns; there being three single _bobs_ and three double _bobs_ in the _eighteenscore_, and consequently six of each in the 720.

The aforesaid method being observed, will carry on the course of the peal to the end of _eighteenscore_, which is just half the 720, and then it terminates, as appears in the _eighteenscore_ here prickt: but by making an _extream_ that number may be doubled; for then _eighteenscore_ changes more will go in course according to the former method; and another _extream_ being likewise made at the end of the last _eighteenscore_ will compleat the 720. The manner of making an _extream_ I have shewed at large in the _Introduction_, _page 90._ where I have also set down a general rule for making them, to which I refer.

The first _extream_ may be made either the first, second, or third time that the half and quarter _hunts_ dodg behind; or else at the first, second, or third single _bob_; at either of which places the _single_ must be made behind.

Here are _eighteenscore_ changes wanting one, which one if it were made double as the former, would bring the bells round, therefore an _extream_ must be made as in this change 123465, the two hind bells making the _extream_, and the bells in the _3d_ and _4th_ places making the _single_. Now in regard that this _extream_ is made the second time the _whole-hunt_ leads after a double _bob_, therefore the second _extream_ must be made the second time the _whole-hunt_ leads after the third double _bob_ following.

This peal may be rung with any _hunts_, and to begin the changes _triple_ and _double_ as in this here prickt.

_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_.
