Doubles and Singles. Treble is the whole-hunt and leads four times, lies behind four times, and twice in every other place, except in the 2d and 3d places where it makes a dodg every time it hunts up and down. Every other bell hath the same course with the whole-hunt; but observing, when they come down and have made a dodg in the second and third places, they lie still one change in the second place, and then make another dodg there, and so hunt up as the Treble did. But note, when the Treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, the bells in the third and fourth places lie still. Every single is made in the second and third places, and every bell lieth four times behind. By this method it will go 120, and by making of bobs it will go 240, 360, or 720. At the bob-change, the bell in the 4th place always lieth still.

To ring 240. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth in the second and third places a bob must then be made, as in this here prickt, where 6 is the half-hunt.

To ring 360. Every time the half and quarter-hunts dodg together in the second and third places, a bob must then be made.

To ring 720. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth in the 2d and 3d places a bob must then be made, except when the quarter-hunt dodgeth there with it, and then not.

In the 360 or 720, the 6 and 5 may be the half and quarter-hunts, or else 2 and 4, or others at pleasure.

Colledge Doubles.

Treble is the whole-hunt, and hath a direct hunting course. When it moves down out of the 5th place, the two hind-bells dodg until it comes there again; during which time the bell in the fourth place lieth still: but otherwise the five hind-bells have a direct hunting course. By this method it will go sixty changes; and by making of bobs it will go 120, 180, 360. At the bob-changes the bell in the second place always lieth still.

To ring 120. 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 180. Every time the half and quarter-hunt dodg together behind, a bob must then be made.

To ring 360. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind a bob must then be made, except when the quarter-hunt dodgeth there with it, and then not.

In the 180 or 360, 2 and 4 may be the half and quarter-hunts, or others at pleasure.

By making of two extreams the 360 may be doubled. They are to be made according to the rules in the Introduction, page 90.

Non-such Bob.

Doubles. Treble is the whole-hunt, and hath a direct hunting course. When it moves up out of the third place, the bell that comes there lieth still until the Treble comes down there again; during which time the two first bells dodg. When the Treble leaves the two hind-bells, they dodg until the change wherein the Treble goeth to lead, and then one of them moves down; but as soon as that change is made, the two hind-bells dodg again until the Treble moves up and parts them. Every time the Treble leads, the double is made on the four hind-bells throughout the peal. By this method it will go sixty changes; and by making of bobs it will go 120, 180, or 360. The bob is always made at the change wherein the Treble goeth to lead, the two first and two last bells making it.

To ring 120. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth before, is a warning for a bob to be made the next time the whole-hunt goeth to lead; as in this here prickt, where 6 is the half-hunt.

By making of two extreams the 360 may be doubled; they must be made according to the rule in the Introduction, page 90.

The bobs in this peal may also be made at the leadings of the whole-hunt as in other peals, and the bell in the fourth place to lie still at every bob-change. The warning for them in the 120, 180, and 360 being the same with that in the Colledge Doubles, page 143.

London Doubles.

The Treble is the whole-hunt; and hath a direct hunting course. When it moves down out of the fifth place the two hind-bells dodg until it comes there again, during which time the bell in the fourth place lieth still. When the Treble is behind, the two first bells make a change; but at other times the leading bell lieth still. By this method it will go sixty changes, and by making of bobs it will go 120, 180, or 360. At the bob-changes the bell in the second place always lieth still. The warning for the bobs in the 120, 180, and 360, is the same with that in Colledge Doubles, p. 143. By making of two extreams it will go 720. The extreams must be made according to the rule in the Introduction, page 90.

In the 120 here prickt, 2 is the half-hunt; and in the 180 and 360, 2 and 4 may be the half and quarter-hunts, or others at pleasure.

Triples, Doubles, and Singles dodging behind.

Single Bob.

City Bob.

These six peals will each of them go sixty changes without any bob, and by making of bobs each of them will go 120, 180, and 360. In three of them, viz. Triples Doubles and Singles, Single bob, and City bob, at the bob-changes the bell in the fourth place always lyeth still; whereas at the rest of the changes which are made at the leadings of the whole-hunt, the bell in the second place lieth still. And in the other three peals, viz. Triples doubles and singles dodging behind, Doubles and Triples, and London Bob, at the bob-changes the bell in the second place always lieth still, whereas at the rest of the changes that are made at the leadings of the whole-hunt, the bell in the fourth place lieth still. The warning for the bobs in the 120, 180, and 360, in each of these six peals is the same with that in the 120, 180, and 360 in Colledge Doubles, p. 143. Each of these peals will go 720 with two extreams, which must be made according to the rule in the Introduction, page 90.

In the 120 of each there prickt, viz., in City Bob, London Bob, and Triples doubles and singles, the 2 is the half-hunt, and in the other three peals the 3 is the half-hunt.

In the 180 and 360 of each peal, the 2 and 4 may be the half and quarter-hunts, or others at pleasure.

Triples and Doubles. The general method of this Peal is the same with Grandsire Bob, and the bobs also made as in that peal. It will go 120, 180, or 240, and by making of two extreams it will go 360 or 480; and with six singles it will go 720.

To ring 120. Every time the half-hunt dodgeth behind a bob must then be made.

To ring 180. Every time the half and quarter-hunt dodg together behind, a bob must then be made; and by making of two extreams it will go 360. The first extream may be made at the first, second, or third bob; observing to make the second extream at the third following bob from the first extream, where the singles in both must be made behind.

To ring 720. The bobs throughout the peal are made by the same rule as in the 120, but farther observing, when the whole and half-hunts come together before, if the quarter-hunt lieth either in the third or fourth places, then a single must be made betwixt the two next extream bells to the quarter-hunt.

The 2 may be the half-hunt and 4 the quarter-hunt, or others at pleasure.

Triples and Doubles. The Treble is the whole-hunt, and hath a direct hunting course. When it moves down out of the fifth place, the two hind-bells dodg until it comes there again. All the bells have a direct hunting course, but observing, that when any bell moves up into the fourth place, if the Treble is then any where below it, it lies there twice, and then moves down again. By this method it will go sixty changes; and by making of bobs it will go 120, 180, or 360. At every bob-change the bell in the second place lieth still. The warning for the bobs is the same with that in Colledge Doubles, page 143. And the two extreams in the 720 must be made according to the rule in the Introduction, page 90.

In the 120 here prickt, 3 is the half-hunt; and in the 180 or 360, 2 and 4 may be the half and quarter-hunts, or others at pleasure.

This peal in practice will be found very plain and easie, and also good Musick.

Colledge Little Bob, dodging before and behind.

Triples and Doubles. The Treble hath a direct hunting course, and when it moves up out of the second place, the two first bells dodg until it comes there again; and also when it moves down out of the 5th place, the two hind-bells dodg until it comes there again. Every bell that moves up into the fourth place, if the Treble is any where below it, lies there twice and then hunts down; and also every bell that moves down into the third place, if the Treble is any where above it, lieth there twice, and then hunts up behind. By this method it will go sixty changes, and by making of bobs it will go 120, 180, or 360. At every bob-change the bell in the second place lieth still. The 2 is the half-hunt in the 120 here prickt, and 2 and 4 may be the half and quarter-hunts in the 120 and 360, or others at pleasure.

The warning for the bobs is the same with that in the Colledge Doubles, p. 143. And the two extreams in the 720 must be made according to the general rule in the Introduction, page 90.

Court Bob.

Triples and Doubles. The Treble hath a direct hunting course. Every bell that comes before and behind makes a Dodg, then lieth still, and so moves away, except the bell that lieth still behind when the treble leads, and also that bell which leads when the Treble lieth behind, both which do dodg before and after their lying still, and then move away. When the treble leads and lieth behind, the double is made on the four middle bells. By this method it will go sixty changes; and with bobs it will go 120, 180, or 360. At the bob-changes the bell in the fourth place lieth still.

To ring 120. Every time the half-hunt maketh a change next the whole-hunt, a bob must then be made, as in this here prickt, where 2 is the half-hunt.

To ring 180. Every time the half and quarter-hunts make a change together next the whole-hunt, a bob must then be made.

To ring 360. Every time the half-hunt maketh a change next the whole-hunt a bob must then be made, except when a quarter-hunt makes a change there with it, and then not.

In the 180 and 360 2 and 4 may be the half and quarter-hunts or others at pleasure. The two extreams in the 720 must be made according to the rule in the Introduction. The first extream may be made either first, second, or third time that the half and quarter-hunts make a change together in the second and third places at the leading of the whole-hunt; and then the second extream must be made the third time following that those two bells make a change there again, the extreams being there made in the fourth and fifth places, and the singles in the second and third places.

Every time the Treble leads, the double may as well be made on the four hind-bells, and the bobs to be made as before; but the warning for them the same with Colledge Doubles.

Five Colledge Bobs.

In these five peals, the Treble is the whole-hunt, and hath a like dodging course in all of them. The general method of the five peals is as follows: viz.

Colledge Bob the first. When the Treble moves down out of the fifth place, the two hind bells dodg until it comes there again. Every bell leads twice, and then hunts up into the fourth place, unless the dodging course of the Treble hinders it, where it lieth twice and then moves down again; except the bell that dodged with the Treble before, and also that which leads when the Treble lieth still behind, both which hunt directly up. When the Treble moves down from dodging in the third and fourth places, the bell that dodged there with it continues in those two places, lying twice together in each by turns until the Treble comes to dodg there with it again.

Colledge Bob the second. Every bell when it comes to lead makes a dodg before, then it lyeth still one change, then it makes another dodg, and so moves up into the fourth place where it lieth still twice, and then down again; except it dodgeth with the Treble in the fourth place, and then it hunts up behind. But when the Treble moves down out of the third place, the two bells in the third and fourth places continue there until the Treble comes up there again, during which time the two hind-bells dodg.

Colledge Bob the third. When the Treble leaves leading, the two first bells dodg until it comes to lead again; except when the Treble dodgeth behind, for then the two first bells lie still. When the Treble leaves the two hind-bells, they lie still one change, dodg the next, and so by turns until the treble comes there again. The two middle bells always dodg until the Treble hindereth them.
