The first Parting change is here made the third change at the beginning, and that six cuts compass.
In all the several ways of ringing this peal, if the Parting changes are made at the fore-stroke, as in course they are in this here prickt, then cutting compass is always on the same sixes, as in this peal: but when the Parting changes are made at back-stroke, then the contrary six always cuts compass to what doth here.
Peals upon Six Bells.
The single Method.
The changes are all single, and treble is the hunt. When the treble moves up out of the 2d place, the two first bells continue slow dodging untill the treble comes there again. And when the treble moves down out of the fourth place, the two hind-bells likewise continue slow dodging until the treble comes there again. When the treble leads, (if ’tis rung at half-pulls) the fore-stroke change (that is, at the third stroke of the treble’s leading) is made in the 3d and 4th places, the rest of the changes there are made behind. By this method it will go sixscore changes.

To ring 240. When the whole-hunt leads, and the half-hunt dodgeth behind; the fore-stroke change must then be made in the 2d and 3d places, as in this here prickt, where the 2d is the half-hunt and there are little marks set at the fore-stroke changes.
To ring 360. When the whole-hunt leads, and the half and quarter-hunts dodg behind, the fore-stroke change must then be made in the 2d and 3d places as before.
To ring 720. When the whole-hunt leads, and the half-hunt dodgeth behind, the fore-stroke change must then be made in the 2d and 3d places as before, except the quarter-hunt dodgeth there with the half-hunt, and then in the 3d and 4th places as at other times. The 2d an 4th, or the 2d and 6th may be the half and quarter-hunts, or others at pleasure.
“Note, in all the following peals upon six bells, the bobs are double changes, and always made at the leadings of the whole hunt (except No-nsuch Bob, for there the Bobs are made at the change wherein the whole-hunt goeth to lead, and not when it doth lead.) And whereas in the following peals the directions for calling bob runs thus; viz. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind, a Bob must then be made, &c. ’tis there implied, That whereas every time the whole-hunt leads, the two hind-bells then dodg; therefore when the half-hunt dodgeth there at the leading of the whole-hunt, a bob must then be made. And in like manner also must all the bobs in the following peals be made at the leading of the whole-hunt. He that rings the half-hunt may best call bob in all peals.”
