This peal will go with any hunts, and to begin it on the four hind bells; but then in ringing it at half-pulls, the first change being made at back-stroke to prevent cutting compass, the bells at the end of the peal will come round at a fore-stroke change. Therefore the better way is to begin it on the four first bells, which may also be done with any hunts, excepting 1.3, 1.5. and 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, wherein the first change of each may be a bob. And observe, that in any way of beginning it, the bells must all proceed in such a perfect hunting course as the first change directs them, until the first bob comes to be made.

Old Triples and Doubles.

One change is triple, the next double, and so by turns, except one single at the end of every sixty changes. Every triple change is made on the two first, the two middle, and two last bells; and every double is made on the four middle bells, except when the hunt leads and then on the four hind bells. Treble is here the hunt, and hath a direct hunting course up and down as in plain changes: the rest of the bells have also a direct hunting course up and down except when the treble leads, and then each bell that was hunting up (except that in the 2d place) makes a dodge with the next bell below it, and then proceeds forward again in its course up; and each bell which at the same time was hunting down, makes a dodg with the next bell above it, and so proceedeth forward in its course down; which method will carry on the peal five courses of the hunt, that is sixty changes as they are here prickt.

In the 120 there is also a half-hunt; and when the whole-hunt leads and the half-hunt lies next it, a single change must then be made, either in the 3d and 4th, or 5th and 6th places; but observing when the half-hunt comes again to lie next the whole-hunt, another single change must be made in the same place where the first was made. These single changes are called extreams, there being two in every sixscore, and the last of them always falls out in course to be made just 60 changes from the first, that is, at the fifth leading of the whole hunt after the first extream.

In the 240 there is also a half-hunt; and when the whole-hunt leads, and the half-hunt lies next it, a single change being then made in the 4th and 5th places, will bring the bells round at twelvescore, there being four singles in the peal, one of which falls in the course at the end of every sixty changes.

In the 720 there is a whole, half, and quarter hunt, and every time the whole-hunt leads and the half-hunt lies next it, a single change must then be made in the 4th and 5th places as in the twelvescore; but when the quarter-hunt lies next the half-hunt, that is, when the three hunts come together before, (which always happen at the end of every twelvescore) then the single must be made behind, which is call’d extream, there being three of them in the peal.

The sevenscore and four triples and doubles are the same with the former except at the leadings of the treble, and then a single is always made in the 3d and 4th places; but when the 2 lies next the treble, an extream is made in the 4th and 5th places. This peal is grounded on the twenty four doubles and singles, the four middle bells making them at the leadings of the treble.
