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 tre∣ble comes there again. And when the treble moves down out of the fourth place, the two hind-bells likewise con∣tinue slow dodging un∣til 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 he∣hind.

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 hefore.
To ring 720. When the whole-hunt leads, and the half-hunt dodgeth behind, the fore∣stroke change must then he made in the 2d and 3d places as hefore, except the quarter∣hunt dodgeth there with the half-hunt, and then in the 3d and 4th places as at other times. The 2d and 4th, or the 2d and 6th may he the half and quarter-hunts, or others at pleasure.
Note, in all the following peals upon six bells, the bobs are double changes, and al∣ways made at the leadings of the whole hunt (except Nonsuch 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 fol∣lowing
descriptionPage 135
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.
