First, every time the _hunt_ leads, as in the peal here prickt; secondly, every time it lies behind; thirdly, every time it leads and lies behind: in this last way there are six _extream_ changes in the peal, but in the other two ways, only three _extreams_; the _extream_ changes must always be made betwixt the two farthest bells from the _hunt_. Any bell may _hunt_ at pleasure, and it may move either up or down at the beginning of the peal. If the _1st_ or _3d_ do _hunt_ down, or the _2d_ or _4th_ up at the beginning, the first change must be _single_, and made of the back-stroke (if ’tis rung at half-pulls) to prevent cutting compass; but if either of those bells do _hunt_ the contrary way, then the first change must be double. _Old Doubles and Singles. 1 and 2._ One change is _double_, the next _single_, and so by turns. The treble hath a direct hunting course, as in plain changes. Every _double_ change is on the four first bells, and the treble is one of the two bells that makes every _single_ change, except when it leads, and then the _single_ is in the _3d_ and _4th_ places; but when 2 lies next the treble, then the _single_ is behind, which is call’d _extream_. Every time the treble leaves leading, the two first bells continue slow dodging, until the treble comes down and displaceth them. And when the treble moves down out of the _5th_ place, the bell that comes into it lies still there, untill the treble comes thither again, except when the _extream_ change is made behind. Every bell lies twice together in the _3d_ and _4th_ places, except when the treble leads, and also when it hinders them in hunting.
