Part 13

The ordinary course is to move directly, except when the _whole-hunt_ passes either out of or into the _second_’s place, and then constantly dodg behind. There are single and double _bobs_; the _bob_ is a _double_ change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the _4th_ place lieth still. When the third _hunt_ dodges behind, the second _hunt_ then leading, is a warning for the single _bob_ to be made at the next leading of the Treble. And when the second and third _hunts_ dodg together behind, is a warning for the double _bob_ to be made at the two next leadings of the Treble. The two _extreams_ in the 720 must be made according to the general rule in the _Introduction_, _p. 90_.

One time the Treble hunts quite up, the next time only up into the fourth place, and so by turns, as in the example here prickt. The bells observe the course of the Treble, and also dodg it being before; and once in 120 changes _bob_, when that bell which is nominated for the second _hunt_ lying behind twice, meets with the third _hunt_ when the first _hunt_ is going to lead. The second and third _hunts_ are both one.

Nottingham _Bob. 1 and 2._

The Treble hath a dodging course, and every time it leads, the _double_ is on the four middle bells, except the _bobs_ which are made in the _2d_ and _3d_, and the _5th_ and _6th_ places. The _bobs_ are single and double. When the _whole-hunt_ leads and the _half-hunt_ lieth behind, is a warning for a double _bob_ to be made at the two next leadings of the Treble, there being but three changes betwixt the two _bobs_. And when the _half-hunt_ lieth in the first and second places for twenty changes together, is a warning for a single _bob_ to be made the second time the Treble leads. The _extreams_ must be made according to the general rule in the _Introduction_, _page 90_.

The treble hath a dodging course, and when it moves up out of the _2d_ place the two first bells dodg until it comes there again; and when it moves down out of the _5th_ place, the two hind bells dodg until it comes there again, except only whilst it dodgeth in the _3d_ and _4th_ places, and then the two hind bells lie still. When the Treble lieth behind the _double_ is on the four first bells; and when it leadeth on the four last. By this method it will go 120, and by making of _bobs_ it will go 240, 360, or 720. At the _bobs_ the bell in the _4th_ place lieth still. The rule of calling the _bobs_ is the same with that in the _Colledge Bobs_, _page 162_.

This is the same with the former, excepting only the _double_ changes which are made when the Treble dodgeth in the _3d_ and _4th_ places, both in hunting up and down; which are here made on the four hind bells, whereas in that they were made on the four first bells: so that here the two hind bells dodg without intermission until the Treble hindreth them. This will also go 240, 360, and 720, and the _bobs_ made by the same rule as the former.

_Doubles and Singles._ The treble leads four times, lieth behind as many, and twice in every other place. Every other bell leads four times. Every _single_ is made behind, except when the Treble is either in the fourth or fifth places, and then in the second and third places. Every time the Treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, the _double_ is on the two first and two last bells, except when the treble goeth to lead if the _5th_ gives it place, and then the _double_ is made on the four first bells.

_Doubles._ The Treble is a perfect hunt, and when it leaves the two hind bells they dodg until it comes there again. Every bell leads twice, and then hunts directly up, unless the aforesaid dodging hindreth them. Every time the Treble leads, a _single_ is made behind, except when 2 lieth next it, and then an _extream_ in the third and fourth places.

The Treble hath a direct hunting course; and when it leaves the two hind bells they dodg until it comes there again. Every bell leads twice, and then hunts directly up, unless the aforesaid dodging hindreth them. When the Treble leads, the _double_ is on the four hind bells. By this method it will go _sixty_ changes, and by making of _singles_ it will go 120, 240, 360, or 720. The _singles_ in the 120, 240, and 720, must be made by the same method with those in _Old Triples and Doubles_, _page 109_. And to ring 360, every time the 1.2 lie together before, the _single_ must be made behind; and when 1.2.3 lie together there, then the _single_ in the fourth and fifth places.

When the Treble leaves the two first bells, they dodg until it comes there again; but in all other respects ’tis the same with the former. And the _singles_ in the 120, 240, 360, and 720, to be made as in that Peal.

Oxford _Single Bob_.

The method of this Peal is the same in all respects with _Oxford Single Bob, Triples Doubles and Singles_, excepting the _bobs_ in this peal, which are made in stead of the _singles_ in that. By making of _bobs_ it will go 180 or 360. The _bob_ is a _double_ change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the fourth place lieth still.

To ring 180, there must be a _whole_ and _half-hunt_; and when the _whole-hunt_ is before and the _half-hunt_ behind, the next change is to be a _bob_.

To ring 360, there must be a _whole_, _half_, and _quarter-hunt_, _viz._

First, when the _whole-hunt_ comes to lead, and the _half-hunt_ to fall behind, the next change is a _bob_: and

Secondly, when the _whole-hunt_ leads before the _quarter-hunt_, and the _half-hunt_ is in the fifth place, the next change is also a _bob_.

The 1 and 5 may be the _whole_ and _half-hunts_ in the 180, and 1.5.3 the _whole_, _half_, and _quarter-hunts_ in the 360, or others at pleasure.

Oxford _Double Bob_.

The method of this peal is the same in all respects with _Oxford double Bob_ before, excepting the _bobs_ in this peal, which are made instead of the _singles_ in that. The _bobs_ are here made in the same manner, and call’d by the same rule in the 180 and 360, as in _Oxford single Bob_ next before; and the two _extreams_ in the 720, both in this and the last peal, must be made according to the general rule in the _Introduction_.

The Treble is the _whole-hunt_, and hath a dodging course. When it leaves the two hind bells, they dodg until it leads, and then a _double_ is made on the four middle bells, which parts the two hind bells; but then the two hind bells dodg again until the Treble displaceth them. Every bell leads twice (except when the Treble dodgeth there) and as they hunt up and down do make a dodg in the third and _4th_ places. When the Treble moves up from dodging before, the bell that dodged there with it continues in the first and _2d_ places, lying twice together in each, until the Treble comes down to dodg there with it again. By this method it will go 120, and by making of _bobs_ it will go 360. At the _bobs_ the bell in the fourth place lieth still. The warning for them is this, When the _half-hunt_ leads, and the Treble moves down, and dodgeth there with it, a _bob_ must then be made at that leading of the Treble. The 3 may be the _half-hunt_, or any other.

This peal is in all respects the same with that next before, except the _double_ change which is made when the Treble moves up out of the second place, and also down into that place again, which is here made on the four middle bells, and consequently parts the two hind bells, which in the former peal continued dodging together. This will also go 360, the _bobs_ being made, in the same manner, and also the warning for them the same, as in the former peal.

’tis hunting down the two first. Every time it leads and lieth behind, the _double_ is made on the four farthest bells from it. Every bell leads twice and lieth behind twice, except the dodging hinder. By this method it will go _sixty_ changes _triples_ and _doubles_, and then by making of _singles_ as in _Old triples_ and _doubles_, it will go 120, 240, or 720.

_Doubles._ _Treble_ is a perfect Hunt. Every bell leads twice, and then moves up into the third place where it lieth twice, and then moves down again except the motion of the Treble hindreth. When the Treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, the _double_ is on the two first and two last bells; and when it leadeth, ’tis on the four middle bells. But when it leadeth, and the 6 lieth behind, then a _single_ in the third and fourth places.

If a _double_ be made on the four hind bells, at every third leading of the Treble it will go 180 compleat _doubles_; and then by making of two _singles_ it will go 360, or with four _singles_ 720.

In this peal there is a _whole-hunt_ and an _half-hunt_. The _whole-hunt_ lieth always four times before, and four times behind, and twice in every other place. The two hindmost bells always dodg ’till the _whole-hunt_ hindreth, except when the _whole-hunt_ is before, at which time there are four changes made of a four and twenty _doubles_ and _singles_; the first of which is a double change brought in by the course of the bells (as in the following peal appeareth) 13254; the second is a _single_ in the third and fourth places (13524); the third is a _double_ on the four last (15342), and the fourth a _single_ again in the third and fourth places (15432), except when the _half-hunt_ is with the _whole-hunt_ before, then it is to be an _extream_ behind. When the _whole-hunt_ leaves the _third’s_ place hunting up, the two formost bells dodg till it returns into the same place again.

_The Whirligigge. 1 and 5._

In this peal, first the bells dodg behind (and not before) till the _whole-hunt_ hindreth them; and the next course they dodg in like manner before (and not behind) till the _whole-hunt_ hindreth them; and so by turns throughout the whole peal. When the _whole-hunt_ is before, if the bells were dodging behind before it came to lead, single behind; if they were dodging before, single in _second_’s and _third_’s place; and when the _whole-hunt_ leads, and _half-hunt_ is in _Tenor_’s place, there is always an _extream_ to be made in _3d_ and _4th_ place, which is every fourth time the _whole-hunt_ leads.

In this peal the bells always dodg both before and behind, till the _whole-hunt_ hindreth them; except when both the Hunts are together either before or behind; for then the two farthest bells from the Hunts do leave dodging for the next change onely which is always a _double_ made by the two Hunts and the two next bells to them. The _singles_ and _extreams_ are made as in the _Old Doubles_.
