Chapter 2

In this _Peal_, the _Fifth_ and _Fourth_ are both _whole Hunts_, each of which does _hunt_ down before the Bells by turns, and lies there twice together and then _hunts_ up again: The 1, 2 and 3 goes the _six changes_, one of which is made every time, either of the _whole Hunts_ lies before the Bells, as in the following _Changes_, where the _fifth_ hunts down the _first_; and lying before the Bells, there is a _change_ made between the 1 & 2, which is one of the _six changes_; and then the _fifth_ _hunts_ up again into its place, and the _fourth_ _hunts_ down, which lying before the Bells, there is another of the _six changes_ made between the 1 and 3, and then the _fourth_ _hunts_ up again, and the _fifth_ _hunts_ down next; in which course it continues to the end of the _Peal_, each of the _whole Hunts_ lying but twice at one time before the Bells, as in these following _changes_.

_Cambridge_ Eight and Forty.

Wherein it is observed, that the _Treble_ and _Second_ does never come behind, neither does the _Fifth_ and _Fourth_ come before, as in the following _Changes_.

The _Plain Changes_ on five Bells.

There are _Six-score Changes_ to be _Rang_ on _five Bells_, which are to be _Rang_, by observing a _whole Hunt_, a _half Hunt_, and _three Extream Bells_; the course of the _whole Hunt_, is the same with the _Hunt_ in the _Twenty-four Changes_, and _hunts_ up and down in the same manner. The _half Hunt_ moves once, that is, over one Bell every time, the _whole Hunt_ comes before and behind the Bells; but when the _half Hunt_ is removed either before or behind the _Extream Bells_, then there is an _Extream Change_ to be made. For Example, I make the _Treble_ the _whole Hunt_, and _hunt_ it up; and the _Second_ the _half Hunt_ and _half hunt_ it up, making every _Extream Change_ between the two farthest _Extream Bells_ from the _half Hunt_; the _Extream Bells_ are the _Third_, _Fourth_, _Fifth_: Now observe, that whereas in the _Twenty-four Changes_, an _Extream Change_ was alwayes made, when the _whole Hunt_ came before or behind the _Bells_, in these _Six-score_ _Changes_ an _Extream_ is alwayes to be made, when the _Half Hunt_ comes before or behind the _Extream Bells_; first the Treble is to be _hunted_ up, as in these _Changes_.--

12345 21345 23145 23415 23451

The _whole Hunt_ being _hunted_ up, the _Second_, which is the _half Hunt_, must be _hunted_ up over one _Bell_, as in this _Change_.--

32451

The _half Hunt_ being removed up over one _Bell_, the _whole Hunt_ must be _hunted_ down again, as in these _Changes_.--

32415 32145 31245 13245

The _whole Hunt_ being _hunted_ down, the _half Hunt_ is to be removed up over the _Fourth_, which is the next _Bell_ to it.--

13425

The _whole Hunt_ is to _hunt_ up as before.--

31425 34125 34215 34251

Now the _half Hunt_ is to be _hunted_ up over the _Fifth_, which is the next _Bell_ to it, thus.--

34521

Here the _Second_, which is the _half Hunt_, is removed quite up behind the _Extream_ _Bells_; yet the _Extream Change_ is not to be made, until the _whole Hunt_ has removed down through the _Bells_, as in these _Changes_.--

34512 34152 31452 13452

And it is a constant Rule, that whensoever the _half Hunt_ has removed up behind the _Extream Bells_, or down before them, the _whole Hunt_ must _hunt_ through the Bells, before the _Extream Change_ is made, as in the last _Change_ but four, which is 3, 4, 5, 2, 1. the _Second_ being the _half Hunt_, is removed up behind the 3, 4, and 5. which are the _Extream_ Bells; and then the _whole Hunt_ being behind, _hunts_ immediately down; and now the _Extreame Change_ is to be made between the 3, and 4. which are the two farthest _Extream_ Bells from the _half Hunt_, as in this _Change_.--

14352

The _Extream_ being made, the _whole Hunt_ and _half Hunt_ are to remove again; and first the _whole Hunt_ must be _hunted_ up.--

41352 43152 43512 43521

Now the _half Hunt_ is to be _hunted_ down under one Bell, thus.--

43251

The _half Hunt_ being removed, the _whole Hunt_ is to be _hunted_ down.--

43215 43125 41325 14325

The _half Hunt_ is to be removed down under another Bell, as in this _Change_.--

14235

Now I hunt up the Treble.--

41235 42135 42315 42351

The Treble being _hunted_ up, I _hunt_ down the _Second_ before the _Extream_ Bells.--

24351

Now I _hunt_ down the Treble again, and then make the _Extream Change_, as in these _Changes_.--

24315 24135 21435 12435 12453

The last is the _Extream Change_, which is made between the _Third_ and _Fifth_; and this course is to be observed to the end of the _Six-score Changes_, which is set down at large at the end of the directions to this _Peal_.

Another short Example I will insert, which is _Second_ down, and _Fourth_ up, (for that is the common Phrase amongst _Ringers_) whereby 'tis alwayes to be observed, that the first Bell which is named, is the _whole Hunt_, and the second that is named, is the _half Hunt_, as herein you may perceive; where _Second_ down, is meant, that the _Second_ Bell is the _whole Hunt_, and to _hunt_ down the first _Change_; and the _Fourth_ Bell is the _half Hunt_, and to _half hunt_ up, that is, to move up towards the hindmost Bell the first time it moves at the beginning of the _Peal_; which are only directions in making the first _Changes_, for one _whole Hunt_ and _half Hunt_ may be hunted several wayes, either up or down at pleasure. First, I _hunt_ down the _Second_.--

12345 21345

The _Second_ being _hunted_ down, the _Fourth_, which is the _half Hunt_, must be removed up over one Bell, thus.--

21354

The _half Hunt_ being removed, I must _hunt_ up the _Second_, as in these _Changes_.--

12354 13254 13524 13542 31542 31524 31254 32154 23154 23145

Now the _Fourth_, which is the _half Hunt_, being behind the _Extream_ Bells, the next is to be an _Extream Change_, which may be made either between the two farthest Bells from the _half Hunt_, or the two nearest to it; and after the _Extream Change_ is made, the _whole Hunt_ and _half Hunt_ must be _hunted_ as before. These _Six-score Changes_ of _Second_ and _Fourth_, I have set down at large, at the end of my directions to these _Changes_ on five Bells.

In every _Six-score_, the _Extream Changes_ may be made either between the two farthest _Extream_ Bells from the _half Hunt_, or between the two nearest to it, observing to make all the _Extreams_ in one _Six-score_ alike; that is, if you make the first _Extream Change_ between the two farthest _Extream_ Bells from the _half Hunt_, you must make all the following _Extreams_ in the same _Six score_ between the two farthest _Extream_ Bells also; or if you make the first _Extream_ in any _Six-score_ between the two nearest to the _half Hunt_, you must make all the following _Extreams_ in the same _Six-score_ between the two nearest also.

The _Six-score_ plain and single _Changes_, are to be _Rang_ Eight-score several wayes; for although there are but _Six-score_ several _Changes_ on five _Bells_, yet by altering the _whole Hunt_, the _half Hunt_, and _Extreams_, the course of the _Changes_ are so altered, that the same _Changes_ doe not come all along together in any two of those Eight-score wayes.

With one _whole Hunt_ and _half Hunt_, the _Six-score Changes_ are to be _Rang_, or set down eight several wayes; one way, is by _hunting_ the _whole Hunt_, and _half Hunt_ both up; the second way, is by _hunting_ the _whole Hunt_ and _half Hunt_ both down; the third way, is in _hunting_ the _whole Hunt_ up, and the _half Hunt_ down; the fourth way, is by _hunting_ the _whole Hunt_ down, and the _half Hunt_ up; each of these four wayes is to be _Rang_ two wayes more; one is, in making the _Extreams_ between the two farthest Extream Bells from the half Hunt, and the other way is in making them between the two nearest; for Example, in making the treble the whole Hunt, and second the half Hunt, the Six-score are to be Rang eight several wayes (viz.)

Extream Changes to be made between the 2 farthest Extream Bells from the half Hunt.

Treble and second both up Treble and second both down Treble down, and second up Treble up, and second down

Extream Changes to be made between the two nearest Extream Bells to the half Hunt, which is called _Mediums_.

Treble and second both up Treble and second both down Treble down, and second up Treble up, and second down

On five Bells there are 20 Hunts, (i.e.) a whole Hunt, and half Hunt twenty times, and not one; and the same whole Hunt, and half Hunt twice, as appears by the following Figures, where they stand two and two together; one of which is the whole Hunt, and the other the half Hunt: for Example, the 2 highest Figures are 1.2 where the treble is the whole Hunt, and the second the half Hunt. The two next Figures are 1.3 where the treble is the whole Hunt, and the third the half Hunt; and likewise the two last, or lowest Figures, are 5.4 the fifth is the whole Hunt, and the fourth the half Hunt; and so of all the rest, the first Figure representing the whole Hunt, and the next to it the half Hunt.

1.2 2.1 3.1 4.1 5.1 1.3 2.3 3.2 4.2 5.2 1.4 2.4 3.4 4.3 5.3 1.5 2.5 3.5 4.5 5.4

So that there being twenty Hunts, and every one making eight Six-scores (as in the Example of treble and second) that is twenty (which are the number of Hunts;) multiplied by eight (which are the number of Six-scores made by each Hunt) does produce Eight-score several wayes to Ring the Six-score Changes.

In the Six-score Changes are comprehended the Twenty-four, and the Six Changes: The Twenty-four Changes are made between the half Hunt, and the three Extream Bells; and the Six are made between the Extream Bells alone: The half Hunt in the Six-score, is the whole Hunt in the Twenty-four; and there is one Change in the Twenty-four made every time the whole Hunt comes before and behind the Bells; and one Change in the Six made every Extream: So that the Six-score rightly understood, is nothing else but hunting the half Hunt through every Change of the Six, which makes Twenty-four Changes: and then hunting the whole Hunt through each Change of the Twenty-four, which makes Six-score; for instance, in the first Six-score before set down, where the treble is the whole Hunt, the second the half Hunt, and the 345 the Extream Bells.

I take the Extream Bells, and set down the six Changes on them thus.--

345 435 453 543 534 354 345

Now I take the first of the six, which is 345, and set the second (which was the half Hunt in the Six-score) to it, and hunt it up behind thus.--

2345 3245 3425 3452

Now I take the second Change of the six, which is 435, and set it directly under 345, and the second Bell to it, and hunt it down thus.--

4352 4325 4235 2435

The second being hunted through the Change, I take the third Change in the six, which is 453, and hunt the second Bell through it, as before.--

2453 4253 4523 4532

And in the same course, the second being hunted through each Change of the six, will make Twenty-four, one Change of the six, hunting the second Bell through it, makes four Changes; so that the six Changes by hunting the second through each of them, will make six times four Changes (i.e.) Twenty-four. And now hunt the Treble through each of the Twenty-four Changes, and 'twill make Six-score; the first of the Twenty-four is 2345, take the Treble, and hunt it through it thus.--

12345 21345 23145 23415 23451

Now take the next Change of the Twenty-four, which is 3245, set it under the other Change, and hunt the Treble through it thus.--

32451 32415 32145 31245 13245

And in the same manner, hunting the Treble through each Change of the Twenty-four, will produce Twenty-four times five Changes, which makes Six-score; one Change of the Twenty-four (in hunting the Treble through it) makes five Changes.

In every Six-score on 5 Bells, there are 6 Extream Changes, there being twenty Changes from one Extream to another.

It would be an endless undertaking to set down all these Peals at large, but for the convenience of the Learner, I have set down some part of several of them, which may with ease be prickt out to the end of each Peal, as the Learner pleases.

Note, That in the following Peals there is a Line drawn at each Extream Change between the Figures, to shew where the Extreams are made; as in the next Peal there is a Line drawn between the Figures just 20 Changes from the beginning of the Peal, the change next after the Line is the Extream Change, which is 14352, and so of the rest; the Change next following each Line is the Extream.

Treble and second both up, Extream between the two farthest Extream Bells from the half Hunt.

The Changes on six Bells.

On six Bells there are Seven-hundred and twenty Changes to be made; but there are Peals of Six-score and Twelve-score Changes to be Rang on them. The Six-score Changes are to be made, by observing a whole Hunt and half Hunt, which are to be hunted in the same course, as in the Six-score on five Bells, and the Extream Changes to be made by the same Rule as they were on five Bells. The only difference between the Six-score on six Bells, and those on five, are this; whereas on five there are but three Extream Bells, on six there are four Extream Bells. And on five Bells, there are six Extream Changes in every Six-score; but on six, there are but four Extream Changes. And moreover, whereas in every Six-score on five Bells, the Changes were the same in each, although altered in course; but the Changes on six Bells are not the same in each, for several Six-scores has several Changes, one Six-score having many Changes which another has not, as in this Peal, treble and second both up, which is,
