Every Hunting note in each peal has a certain number of notes assigned, through which ’tis always to hunt. The term _hunt_ is given to a note in respect of the manner of its motion, which I will shew in this example. First, the notes of four bells are supposed to strike round in this order, 1234. The Treble shall be the Hunt, and the other three assigned or appointed for it to hunt through. Now whereas the Treble-note leads, it must move through its assigned number to strike behind them: and whereas every change must be made betwixt two notes that strike next each other, as I have shewed before in the _4th Observation_; therefore the hunting-note is confin’d to move gradually through the rest by making a change with each note that strikes next to it; and accordingly it must first move into the _2d_ place, next into the _3d_ place, and lastly into the _4th_. So that ’tis to make a change with every note that lies behind it; first with the _2d_ note, next with the _3d_, and lastly with the _4th_. │_1234_ The first change is thus│ 2134 The second thus │ 2314 The third thus │ 2341 The hunting note has here moved through its assigned number; for whereas at first it did lead, now it strikes behind them. Wherein ’tis observable, that it made up changes all the way; which of necessity it must do, because every note with which it was to make a change, lay behind it: and because it made up changes, therefore ’tis said to have hunted up. The hunting-note shall now move through its assigned number again, to lead as at first. Therefore first it must move into the _3d_ place, then into the second place, and lastly into the first place, which is called the Treble’s place; in which motion it must make a change with each note that strikes next before it: first with the _4th_ note, next with the _3d_, then with the _2d_. The first change thus│2314 The second thus │2134 The third thus │1234
