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
When the Treble leaves leading, the two hind bells dodg until Treble
parts them; but in all other respects ’tis the same with the former, and
the _bobs_ made in the same manner, and by the same rule as in that
peal, and it will go as many changes also as that.

Each of these two peals by the method here prickt will go _Eighty four_
changes; and then when the Treble leads, and the _half-hunt_ lieth next
it, a _Parting_ change being then made, they will go 420. And by making
of _bobs_ they will go 5040. 2 may be the _half-hunt_, or any other at
pleasure. The _Parting_ change is a _double_ on the four middlemost of
the six hind bells.
’Tis plainly demonstrable, that the _Principle_ upon _five_ may go 420
_triples_ upon _seven_, which is a twelfth part; 840, which is a sixth
part; or 1260, which is a fourth part of the whole, and the utmost
period of _triple_ changes. And then by making of four _extreams_ it may
go 5040, the compleat peal.
Great variety of peals may be prickt upon seven: as _Triples_, _Triples
and Doubles_, _Triples Doubles and Singles_; _Doubles_, _Doubles and
Singles_, _&c._ But changes upon _seven_ being seldom practised, I will
therefore forbear to wast more paper in pricking down examples, and
proceed to the changes on _eight_.
_Changes upon Eight Bells._
_Sixscores_ upon _five_ bells are commonly rung upon _eight_, three
bells lying behind. The most musical to lie behind are 218, 418, 148,
248, 348, 468, 648, 548, 864, 241, 321, and 135 to be laid behind, and
then 1 and 3 to dodg throughout the peal. And also 184 to be laid
behind, and to go the six changes thus, 814. 841. 481. 418. 148. 184.
814. &c. and so on to the end of the _sixscore_. They may go the _sixes_
either at whole or half-pulls. Peals upon _six_, as _Triples_ and
_Doubles_, _&c._ make exceeding good musick upon _Eight_, 48. 68. 41. or
18. lying behind. Or else _Triples_ and _doubles_ upon the six middle
bells, the Treble leading, and the Tenor lying behind. And also
_Triples_ upon _seven_, the Tenor lying behind. But for such as have not
yet attain’d the skill to ring these compleat peals, _Sett-changes_ are
very proper for them, being easie and rung with little difficulty.
