Part 11

_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_ 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 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 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_.

_1234567_ 2143657 2416375 4261735 4627153 6472513 6745231 7654321 7563412 5736142 5371624 3517264 3152746 1325476

_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.

_1234567_ 2143576 2415367 4251376 4523167 5432617 4523671 5432761 4523716 5432176 5341267 3514276 3152467 1325476 1352746

_Colledge Bob Triples._

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._

_1234567_│ 4536271 │ 7162534 │ 7326145 2135476 │ 5463721 │ 1726354 │ 3762415 2314567 │ 5647312 │ 1273645 │ 3674251 3241576 │ 6574132 │ 2176354 │ 3425167 │ 6751423 │ 2713645 │ 4352617 │ 7615243 │ 7231654 │

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.

_Colledge Triples, dodging behind._

_1234567_│ 2436571 │ 4126753 │ 4726153 2143576 │ 4263751 │ 1462735 │ 7462513 2415367 │ 2467315 │ 1467253 │ 4765231 4251376 │ 4276135 │ 4176235 │ 2453167 │ 2471653 │ 4712653 │ 4235617 │ 4217635 │ 7421635 │

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.
