Every sin∣gle 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.

To ring 720. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth be∣hind a bob must then be made, except the quarter∣hunt dodgeth there with it, and then not.
