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
down out of that place: therefore as the change wherein the treble hunts
down out of the _4th_ place, is double of the four first bells; so
likewise must the change wherein the _4th_ bell hunts down out of that
place, be also double of the four first thus, 21435; then as the
_treble_ makes a _single_ when it moves down out of the _3d_ place, so
likewise must the _4th_ next make a single change in moving down out of
the _3d_ place thus 24135, _&c._ which observations will guide the
making of the first changes in any cross peal with any Hunts; but
observe whensoever the first change of any peal happens to be single, it
must be made at the back-stroke to prevent cutting compass; and the like
when a double change happens first in a peal of Triples and Doubles. And
moreover by the way observe, that all the following peals are so prickt,
that in ringing them at half-pulls, if the first change of each peal is
made at the fore-stroke, the single changes in each peal will always be
made at the back-stroke; and also the double changes in Triples and
Doubles, excepting some few Single in two or three peals. But when it
happens that the first change of a peal is made at the back-stroke, then
consequently the bells at the end of the peal will come round at a
fore-stroke change.
In such peals on five bells where _singles_ are made in the _3d_ and
_4th_ places at the leadings of the _whole-hunt_, the _extreams_ may
there be made three ways in each peal; _viz._ every time the _half-hunt_
lieth next to the _whole-hunt_; secondly, every time it lieth behind;
thirdly, every time the _half-hunt_ lieth next the _whole-hunt_, and
also behind: in this last way there are six _extreams_ in each peal, but
in other ways only three in each; the _extreams_ being always made when
the _whole-hunt_ leads, and betwixt the two farthest _extream_ bells
from the _half-hunt_.
In such peals upon five bells wherein there are three _extreams_, and
made in the _3d_ and _4th_ places at the leadings of the _whole-hunt_;
the rest of the _singles_ at the leadings of the _whole-hunt_ may be
made two ways in each peal, _viz._ either in the _2d_ and _3d_, or the
_4th_ and _5th_ places; if they are made in the _2d_ and _3d_, then the
_extreams_ must be made when the _half-hunt_ lyeth behind; but if the
_singles_ are made behind, then the _extreams_ must be made when the
_half-hunt_ lieth next the _whole-hunt_, the _extreams_ being always
made between the two next _extream_ bells to the _half-hunt_.
In all the following peals the figures standing by themselves at the
title of the peal, are the _hunts_ in the peal there prickt: for
instance, in the first _cross-peal_ upon five bells call’d _Old doubles
and singles_, the two figures standing thus _1 and 2_, are the _hunts_
in that peal; 1 is the _whole-hunt_, 2 the _half-hunt_, and the like of
the rest.
