Bells; Change ringing
_Quadruples and Triples._ The Treble is the _whole-hunt_, but never
hunteth up farther than the sixth place; for the six first bells go
_triples_ and _doubles_, it matters not of what sort, provided that the
_double_ changes at the leadings of the Treble are always made on the
four hindmost of the six bells; which course of _triples_ and _doubles_
must be continued, the two hindmost of the eight bells in the mean time
dodging until the first _Parting_ change is made, which will separate
the two hindmost bells; and then the six first bells go the same course
of _triples_ and _doubles_ again, the two hindmost bells in the mean
time dodging as before, until the second _Parting_ change is made, and
so successively. The _Parting_ change is a _triple_ change on the six
middle bells, and made at the leadings of the _whole-hunt_. The first
_Parting_ change may be made either at the first second third fourth or
fifth 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 again, 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 seven _Parting_ changes in the peal, and as
many _half-hunts_, each of the _seven_ bells taking that place one after
another. So that the seven persons that ring the _2d_, _3d_, _4th_,
_5th_, _6th_, and _7th_ bells, must call the _Parting_ changes one after
another, according as the aforesaid rule directs them: or else he that
rings the Treble may do it, but not so well as the rest. To ring it with
such peals upon six bells which consist of single courses, it will go
420; with double courses 840. This peal may also be rung _triples_, that
is, the six first bells to go _doubles_, the two hind bells in the mean
time dodging, and the _Parting_ changes to be made as before. But in
ringing it with such Peals of _Triples_ and _Doubles_, or else _Doubles_
upon six bells, where the _double_ change at every leading of the Treble
is made in the _2d_ _3d_ _5th_ and _6th_ places, there, whatsoever two
bells lie next the Treble at the first _Parting_ change, the same two
bells will lie next it at every _Parting_ change, which will be a rule
for calling them, there being only five _Parting_ changes in it, which
are _triples_ as before. The first _Parting_ change may also here be
made either the first second third fourth or fifth time the Treble
leads. If it is rung with peals upon _six_ bells, consisting of single
Courses, it will then go 300, with double Courses 600. This peal may
also be rung by _Concatenating_ of divers kinds of methods. For as the
peal consists of several parts, _viz._ from one _Parting_ change to the
next, being accounted a compleat part; so each part may be rung by a
different method from the rest.
