Now the figure 4 being in like manner hunted through each of those six
changes, will produce the 24 changes on four. First, therefore it must
hunt through the first, which is 123, letter (_a_), then through the
second change of the six, which is 132, letter (_b_); then through the
third, which is 312, letter (_c_), and so it being hunted through the
rest of the changes likewise, will produce the twenty four changes on
four.

The figure 5 being hunted through each of those twenty four changes,
will produce the 120 changes on five, First therefore it must hunt
through the first, which is 1234, letter (_a_); then through the second,
which is 1243, letter (_b_); then also through the third, which is 1423,
letter (_c_). In which manner it being hunted through the rest of the
twenty four changes, will produce the 120 on five. And then the figure 6
being hunted through each of those sixscore changes will produce the 720
changes on six. And the figure 7 being hunted through each of those 720
changes, will produce the 5040. In which manner also the eighth, ninth,
tenth, eleventh, and twelfth, being successively hunted through each
Peal in the aforesaid order, will at length produce the compleat number
of changes on twelve. Wherein ’tis observable, that all the figures,
except two, have a hunting motion; which two may properly be term’d the
Center, about which the rest do circulate. By these methods it is
evident, that every hunting figure hath a certain number of figures
assigned, through which tis constantly to hunt: as in the aforesaid
Example on twelve, where the 1.2 are assigned for the figure 3 to hunt
through, as appears in the six changes before. And in like manner, 123
are assigned for the figure 4 to hunt through; 1234 are assigned for the
figure 5 to hunt through; 12345 for 6 to hunt through, _&c._ Now the
figure 3 hunts as many times through the 1.2. as those two make changes,
that is, two times wherein it makes twice three changes, that is, six,
as before appeareth. The figure 4 hunts as many times through the 123,
as those three figures make changes, that is, six times; wherein it
makes six times four changes, which amounts to twenty four. The figure 5
hunteth as many times through the 1234, as those four figures make
changes, that is, twenty four times; wherein it makes twenty four times
five changes, which amounts to 120. The figure 6 hunts as many times
