Bells; Change ringing
_Triples and Doubles._ The Treble is the _whole-hunt_, but never hunteth
up farther than the fourth place, for the four first bells go _Doubles
and Singles_; and every time the Treble leads an _extream_ is made in
the third and fourth places, according to the common course of _doubles_
and _singles_ upon, four bells; which course of _doubles_ and _singles_
must be continued, the two hind bells in the mean time dodging, until
the making of the first _Parting_ change, which will separate the two
hind bells; and then the four first bells go the same course of
_doubles_ and _singles_ again, the two hind bells dodging as before,
until the making of the second _Parting_ change, and so successively.
The _Parting_ change is a _double_ change on the four middle bells, and
made at the leading of the Treble. The first _Parting_ change may be
made either at the first second or third 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 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 five _Parting_
changes in the Peal, and as many _half-hunts_, each of the bells (the
Treble excepted) taking that place one after another; and consequently,
the five persons that ring them must call the _Parting_ changes one
after another as their turn comes, according to the aforesaid rule.
_Changes upon Seven Bells._
The methods upon _five_ may be prickt upon _seven_, observing but the
true difference of proportion in the changes; that is, _doubles_ upon
_five_ bells must be _triples_ upon _seven_; _doubles_ and _singles_
upon _five_ must be _triples_ and _doubles_ upon _seven_, _&c._
_Plain Triples._
All the bells have a direct hunting course. All peals upon _six_ bells
wherein half the changes are _triples_, will go upon _seven_ according
to this method here prickt; two of the changes upon _six_ being always
made at the leadings of the Treble, the six hindmost bells making them:
the first is a _triple_ change brought in by the course of the bells,
and the next must either be _double_ or _single_ according to the method
of the changes upon _six_.
