Cross Peals.
The Twenty four, Doubles and Singles on four Bells.
THis peal consists equally of dou∣ble and single changes;
one change is double, the next single, and so throughout. 1 is here the hunt, and 2.3.4 extream bells. Every dou∣ble change is made on the two first and two last bells, and every single on the two middle bells, except when and 1 leads, and then behind which is call'd extream. All the bells have a direct Hunting-course up and down until 1 leads, and then the bell in the second place lyeth still, whilst the two hind-bells make a dodg; which being made, all the bells proceed a∣gain in their Hunting course. The three changes of (
abc) are the three extream changes.
There are three ways to make the extream changes. First, every time
descriptionPage 97
the hunt leads, as in the peal here prickt; se∣condly, every time it lies behind; thirdly, every time it leads and lies behind: in this last way there are six extream changes in the peal, but in the other two ways, only three extreams; the extream changes must always be made betwixt the two farthest bells from the hunt. Any bell may hunt at pleasure, and it may move either up or down at the be∣ginning of the peal. If the 1 or 3d do hunt down, or the 2d or 4th up at the beginning, the first change must be single, and made of the back-stroke (if 'tis rung at half-pulls) to prevent cutting compass; but if either of those bels do hunt the contrary way, then the first change must be double.
Old Doubles and Singles. 1 and 2.
ONE change is double, the next single, and so by turns. The treble hath a direct hunting course, as in plain changes. Every double change is on the four first bells, and the treble is one of the two bells that makes every single change, except when it leads, and then the single is in the 3d and 4th
descriptionPage 98
places; but when 2 lies next the treble, then the single is behind, which is call'd extream. Every time the treble leaves leading, the two first bells continue slow dodging, untill the treble comes down and displaceth them. And when the treble moves down out of the 5th place,
the bell that comes into it lies still there, until the treble comes thither again, ex∣cept when the extream change is made behind. Every bell lies twice to∣gether in the 3d and 4th places, except when the treble leads, and also when it hinders them in hunting.
This old peal may be rung by a new course, which differs from the former only in the single changes that are made e∣very time the whole-hunt leads, viz. every single may be made either in the 2d and 3d, or 4th and 5th places. If they are made in the 2d and 3d, then the extreams must be made when the half-hunt lies behind; but if they are made in the 4th and 5th places, then
descriptionPage 99
the extreams must be made when the half-hunt lies next the whole-hunt, the extreams be∣ing always made in the 3d and 4th places.
London Paradox. 1 and 2.
ONE change is double, the next single, and so by turns. The motion of the tre∣ble is after this manner; in hunting up, first, it makes a dodg in the 2d and 3d places, then it lies twice in the 4th place, and four times behind; in which manner also it hunts down again, and then leads four times. The rest of the bells have a like course and mo∣tion with that of the treble, untill the treble leads. Now 'tis observable, that every sin∣gle change is made in the 2d and 3d places until the treble leads, and then in the 3d and 4th places; but when 2 lies next the treble, then an ex∣tream behind. The changes
descriptionPage 100
at the leadings of the whole-hunt have an ab∣solute dependency upon the course of the twenty four changes, doubles and singles upon four bells-; and the extreams to be made as many ways as in that peal, which are here guided by the motion of the half-hunt.
Phoenix 5 and 4.
ONE change is double, the next single, and so by turns. Every bell leads twice, and lies behind four times. E∣very single is made in the 2d and 3d places, until the 5th comes behind, and then in the 3d and 4th places; but when the 4th leads, (the 5th being behind) the single is in the 2d and 3d places.
London pleasure. 1 and 2.
THis peal in the former printing of it was prickt another way, but I have
descriptionPage 101
here transposed that Course, which in my opinion renders it more easie and practical.

Mr. Tendring's Peal, call'd Grand Paradox. 1 and 5.
ONE change is double, the next single, and so by turns. The motion of the whole-hunt is after this manner: first, it moves up into the 2d and 3d places, lying twice in each; then it moves up and makes a dodg be∣hind, and then lieth still one change in the
descriptionPage 102
5th place; then it makes another dodg be∣hind, and so moves down into the 3d and 2d places lying twice in each as before, and then leads four times. Every other bell hath a like course and motion with that of the tre∣ble until the leadings of the treble, and then observe, that every time the treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, the double change is made on the two first and two last bells, er∣cept when it goeth to lead if the half-hunt lies next it, and then not. Every bell leads four times, and every single is made behind. The change wherein each bell leaves leading, is always made on the four first bells, except as before.

What you please, Doubles and Singles.
EVery bell leads four times, and lies be∣hind twice, except when the extream is made behind; and twice in the second place, except when the extream is made before: and note, when the treble is before the fourth stroke, the single is in the 2d and 3d, the next time the single is behind; but at other times the single is in the 3d and 4th places. When any bell leaves leading the double change is on the two first and two last, and the extreams are made by turns, first behind, then before, and so on to the end, for there are six ex∣treams.

THE changes are all double, except one single exery time the treble leads. The treble hath a perfect hunting course as in plain changes, and every other bell hath a like hunting course with that of the treble until the treble leads, and then a single is made in the 3d and 4th places; but when the 2 lies next the treble, the single is behind which is call'd extream.

New Doubles. 1 and 2.
THE changes are all double, except one sin∣gle at every leading of the treble. The
descriptionPage 105
treble hath a perfect hunting course as in plain changes; and when it moves up from leading, the two first bells dodg untill it comes down again and displaceth them. Eve∣ry bell that comes into the 3d place lies there twice, and then moves up behind; but the bell which lies there when the treble leaves leading, moves down. Every bell lies twice behind, except at the changes wherein the treble goeth to lead and leaves leading. E∣very time the treble leads, a single change is then made in the 3d and 4th places; but when the 2 lies next the treble, an extream behind.

Reding Doubles. 1 and 2.
THE treble hath a direct hunting courle as in plain changes, and when it moves up from leading the two first bells dodg until it
descriptionPage 106
comes down again and displaceth them; and whilst they dodg before, every bell that comes down into the 3d place lies there twice, and then moves up again behind. But after the dodging all the bells go a direct hunting course up and down, until the dodg∣ing again hindreth them as before. Every bell lies twice behind,
except when the treble leaves leading if the 2d lies next it, and then the double is made on the two first and two last bells; by which means the two hind-bells then make a dodg, which happens in course once in twenty changes, that is, every second time the treble leaves leading. By this method it will go sixty changes, and then an extream must be made. The extreams in this peal may be made according to the preceding general rule set down in the Introduction. Here the first ex∣tream is made at the end of sixty changes, the bells lying 1 3 2; and when they come to lie
descriptionPage 107
so again, the second extream must be made; the extream is made behind, two of the ex∣tream bells lying there, and the single is made in the 2d and 3d place at both the extreams.
Grandsire. 1 and 5.
THE treble hath a direct hunting course as in plain changes, and every other bell hath also a like hunting course with that of the treble except when the bobs hinder. The bobs are double changes, and made on the two first and two last bells according to this rule, viz. every time the treble goes to lead and leaves leading, a bob-change is then made, except the 5th lying next it makes a change there with it, and then not. Now 'tis ob∣servable, that once in twenty changes, that is, at every second leading of the treble, the 5th lies next it, and consequently there is but one bob-change then to be made, but at other times two; so that at one leading of the tre∣ble there is but one bob-change made, at the next leading there are two, and so successive∣ly by turns, which for distinction may be call'd single and double bobs, The two bells that dodg behind at a bob continue there
descriptionPage 108
dodging until the treble comes up and dis∣placeth them, and at every bob-change the bell in the 3d place lieth still,
and then moves down to lead. By this method it will go sixty changes; and to carry on the course extreams must be made, there being two in the peal. The manner of making an ex∣tream I have at large shewed in the Introdu∣ction, and the extreams may here be made in any place according to the general rule there set down. The easiest way in practice is to make them at the leadings of the treble; at any single bob it may be made be∣hind, two of the extream bells lying there, and to lie still whilst the bells in the 2d and 3d places do make the single change: at any double bob it may be made in the 2d and 3d places, so that the single must there be made behind.
descriptionPage 109
If the first extream is made at the single bob, the second must be made at the third fol∣lowing single bob; or if the first is made at a double bob, the second must be made at the third double bob following, as in this peal here prickt, where the first extream is made at a double bob, and the second also made at the third following double bob.
This peal will go with any hunts, and to be∣gin 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 com∣pass, 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, where∣in 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 hunt∣ing 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
descriptionPage 110
change is made on the two first, the two mid∣dle, 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 chan∣ges: 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 six∣ty 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 ob∣serving when the half-hunt comes again to lie next the whole-hunt, another single change must be made in the
descriptionPage 111
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 quar∣ter 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 al∣ways 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.
descriptionPage 112
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 al∣ways 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 sin∣gles, the four middle bells making them at the leadings of the treble.
Grandsire Bob. 1, 2 and 4.
THE general method of this peal is the same with that next before, but with this difference; whereas in that peal singles were made at the end of every sixty changes to carry on the course, in this there are dou∣ble changes made in their stead, which are called Bob-changes, and made when the tre∣ble leads in the 2d and 3d and the 5th and 6th places, whereas at other times the double is there made on the four hind bells.
The Practitioner may observe these rules in the ringing of it, viz. whatsoever bells he followeth when he hunteth up, he must fol∣low the same bells again, and in the same or∣der, the next time he hunts down, as in these
descriptionPage 113
changes here prickt, where the treble in hun∣ting up first follows 2, then 4, and then 6; and when it comes behind, first it follows 2 again, then in its hunting down it follows 4 and 6 in the same order as when it hunted up; which is also observed in the ringing of any other bell, but with this difference be∣twixt the whole-hunt and the rest of the bells, viz. Every time the whole-hunt leaves the tre∣ble's place and hunts up, it followeth diffe∣rent bells from what it did in its former hun∣ting up, as may be seen in this example: where in its first hunting up it first follows 2, then 4, then 6;
whereas in the next hunting up it first follows 3, then 2, then 4. But the first time any other bell leads after a bob, whatsoever bells it then follows in its hunting up, it follows the same bells likewise and in the same order every time it hunts up, and conse∣quently every time it hunts down unto the next bob; as in this exam∣ple, where 2 in its first hunting up, first follows 4, then 6, then 5, and likewise when it next hunts up it follows 4 6 5 as before, &c. But when the whole-hunt is the second bell which he follows in hunting up,
descriptionPage 114
he must follow it again when he next lies behind.
'Tis observable, that at every leading of the treble the two hind bells dodg; and when∣soever the half-hunt dodgeth there, a bob must then be made, except the quarter-hunt dodg∣eth there with it, and then not; which is an infallible rule, by which he that rings the half∣hunt may always give notice of the bobs as well when the peal is inverted, as in the ordi∣nary way of ringing it. The bobs fall out in course single and double, the one single, the next double; and so by turns; there being three single bobs and three double bobs in the eighteenscore, and consequently six of each in the 720.
The aforesaid method being observed, will carry on the course of the peal to the end of eighteenscore, which is just half the 720, and then it terminates, as appears in the eighteen∣score here prickt: but by making an extream that number may be doubled; for then eighteenscore changes more will go in course according to the former method; and another extream being likewise made at the end of the last eighteenseore will compleat the 720. The manner of making an extream I have shewed at large in the Introduction, pag. 90. where I have also set down a general rule
descriptionPage 115
for making them, to which I refer.
The first extream may be made either the first, second, or third time that the half and quarter hunts dodg behind; or else at the first, second, or third single bob; at either of which places the single must be made behind.

descriptionPage 116
Here are eighteenscore changes wanting one, which one if it were made double as the former, would bring the bells round, there∣fore an extream must be made as in this change 123465, the two hind bells making the extream, and the bells in the 3d and 4th places making the single. Now in regard that this extream is made the second time the whole-hunt leads after a double bob, therefore the second extream must be made the second time the whole-hunt leads after the third double bob following.
This peal may be rung with any hunts, and to begin the changes triple and double as in this here prickt.
