New Doubles. On five Bells.

IN this Peal of New Doubles, there are Six-score Changes, which are all double, except only when the whole Hunt leads, and then there is alwayes a single Change made; it has a whole Hunt, a half Hunt, and three Extream Bells. The whole Hunt has a perfect course in hunting up and down, and lies twice before, and twice behind. When the whole Hunt leaves the thirds place hunting up, then each Bell that comes into that place, lies there twice, and then moves up behind; and the Bells in tre∣ble and seconds places, does continue dodging from the time that the whole Hunt hunts up out of thirds place, un∣til it comes into that place again hunting down; and that Bell which comes into

thirds place (when the whole Hunt leaves it hunting down, lies there twice, and then moves up behind) and the next Bell that comes into that place, lies there twice also, and then moves down before the Bells. But note, that Bell which lies in the thirds place (in the Change next before the Extream) con∣tinues there, until the whole Hunt hunts up into that place, and then it moves down; when the whole Hunt leads the Bell in seconds place, lies there twice together, and then moves down before the Bells; and every Bell that comes behind, lies there twice, except only in the Change next before, and that next after the whole Hunt leads; every single Change is made in third and fourths pla∣ces, except the Extreams, which are al∣so single Changes, and made between the two hindmost Bells, when the half Hunt lies before the Extream Bells next to the whole Hunt.

These directions are only for Ringing this Peal next following; but it may be Rang many other wayes, by making the Extream Changes in other places, of which I shall speak more anon.

    This Peal may be Rang Six-score se∣veral wayes. With one whole Hunt, and half Hunt, it may be Rang six wayes; in three of which, the whole Hunt is to be hunted up, and in the other three wayes it is to be hunted down; which six wayes are to be Rang, by making the Extream changes by the same rules, and in the same manner, as in Doubles and Singles on five Bells, Old Doubles, and Para∣dox, before set down; so that with the twenty Hunts, it may be Rang twenty times six wayes, which makes Six-score.

    This Peal is grounded on the Twenty-four Changes, Doubles and Singles on four Bells, the half Hunt and three Ex∣tream Bells makes the Twenty-four Changes in perfect course; and in the same manner, as I shewed you in Para∣dox, and Old Doubles.

    These following rules shews how to begin any Peal of New Doubles.

    • In hunting either the treble or fourth up, the first change must be double be∣tween the two first, and two last Bells, thus.—12345:21354.
    • ...In hunting the treble down, the first change is single in third and fourths

    • ... places, unless the extream is to be made.
    • ...—The fourth down, the first change is be∣tween the four first Bells.
    • ...Second up, first change double between the four hindmost Bells.
    • ...Second down, the first change is double be∣tween the two first, and two last Bells.
    • ...Third up, first change double between the four foremost Bells.
    • ...Third down, first change double between the four hindmost Bells.
    • ...Fifth up, double between the four first Bells.
    • ...Fifth down, first change double, two first and two last Bells.
