Campanalogia : $b or The art of ringing improved : with plain and easie rules to guide the practitioner in the ringing all kinds of changes, to which is added, great variety of new peals.
Stedman, Fabian
Bells; Change ringing
ringing of these _Sett-changes_ the notes will lie sometimes _fifths_,
sometimes _thirds_, and sometimes _thirds_ and _fifths_, and then ’tis
pleasant Musick to _Clam_ them, that is, the two notes of each _Concord_
to strike together; and if they are _clam’d_ true, the eight bells will
strike as if they were but four, but with far greater harmony. They may
_Clam_ two or three bouts, and then strike open as many, and so
alternately; or else they may _Clam_ one pull, open the next, and so on.
To reduce the notes of the _fifths_ to their right places again at the
conclusion of the peal, either 234 must hunt down, or else 765 up; or
otherwise a _Triple double_ and _single_ change to be made on the
middlemost bells, all which are to one effect, and will bring the bells
round. To reduce the _thirds_ either move down 246 into their places, or
else move up 753 into theirs; or otherwise make _single_, _double_, and
_triple_ change on the middlemost bells; all which are to one effect,
and will bring the bells again round.
The methods of all peals upon _six_ bells may be prickt upon _eight_,
observing but proportion in the changes, according to the difference in
the number of bells, _viz._ _Triples_ and _doubles_ upon _six_ must be
_quadruples_ and _triples_ upon _eight_. _Doubles_ upon _six_ must be
_Triples_ upon _eight_, _&c._

_Plain Quadruples_ and _Triples_. All the bells have a direct hunting
course until the Treble leads, and then the six hindmost bells dodg. By
this method it will go 112. And by making of _bobs_ it will go 224, 336,
or 672. The _bob_ is a _triple_ change at the leading of the Treble,
wherein the bell in the _4th_ place lieth still.
To ring 224. Every time the _half-hunt_ dodgeth behind, a _bob_ must
then be made.
To ring 336. Every time the _half_ and _quarter-hunts_ dodg together
behind, a _bob_ must then be made.
To ring 672. 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. The 2 may be the _half-hunt_, and 4 the _quarter-hunt_, or
others at pleasure.
By making of two _extreams_ it will go 1344, and with four _extreams_ it
will go 2688.
