A Cure for Melancholly.
Doubles and Singles. The Treble is the whole-hunt which leads four times, lieth behind as many, and twice in every other place. When it moves up out of the fourth place, the two bells in the third and fourth places continue dodging until it comes down there again, and then the two hind-bells dodg until the Treble displaceth them. The Treble is one of the bells which maketh every double change, except when it lieth still behind, and then the double is on the four first, and also when it leads the double is on the four last. Every single is made in the fifth and sixth places, except when the Treble lieth there, and then in the third and fourth places. Every bell except the Treble lieth four times in the second place. By this method it will go sixscore changes, but by making of bobs it will go 240, 360, or 720. The bob is a double change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the fourth place lieth still.

To ring 240. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind, a bob must then be made as in this here prickt, where 2 is the half-hunt.
To ring 360. Every time the half and quarter-hunts dodg together behind, a bob must then be made.
To ring 720. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind a bob must then be made, except the quarter-hunt dodgeth there with it, and then not.
2 may be the half hunt, and 4 the quarter hunt, or others at pleasure.
The Morning Exercise.
Doubles and singles. The treble is the whole hunt, and hunteth up into the 2d, 3d and 4th places, lying twice in each; then having made a dodg behind, it lyeth still in the sixth place, and then makes another dodg behind, and so hunts down in the same manner as it hunted up, and then leads four times. When the Treble moves down out of the fifth place, the two hind-bells dodge untill it comes up there again; during which time the bell in the 4th place lieth still. And when the Treble moves up out of the second place, each bell that comes there lieth four times, until the Treble comes down there again. Every single is made behind. By this method it will go 120 changes; and by making of bobs it will go 240, 360, or 270. At the bobs the bell in the 2d place always lieth still.
