One change is _double_, the next _single_, and so by turns.

_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.

_The Morning Star. 1 and 2._

The treble hath a direct hunting course as in plain changes; and every time it hunts up, it makes two _singles_ together, and the like when it hunts down: when it leads the _single_ is behind, but when 2 lies next it an _extream_ is made in the _3d_ and _4th_ places. Every time the treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, the double is on the two first and two last bells, and every bell except the treble leads four times together.

_The Quirister. 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, the _single_ is behind, but when 2 lies next it an _extream_ is made in the _3d_ and _4th_ places.

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 when 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 dodg, 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 four 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_ places, 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 course. 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 be 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 continues 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 _extream_ 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 and 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. By 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 peals 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 on 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.

To ring 240. Every time the _half-hunt_ dodgeth behind, a _bob_ must then be made as in this here prickt, where 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 the _quarter-hunt_ dodgeth there with it, and then not.

2 may be the _half_ hunt, and 4 the _quarter_ hunt, or others at pleasure.
