This will go 120, and by making _bobs_, 240, 360, or 720.

_Colledge Bobs._

In this _bob_, when the _Treble_ leaves the two Hind _bells_, they dodge till it comes there again, and till the _Treble_ gives way for the dodging again of the said two Hind _bells_, the two _First bells_ dodge, but after Cease dodging, when the two Hind _bells_ dodge.

_Another._

Here, every _bell_, when it comes to lead, makes a dodge before, then after one _Change_, it lyeth still; after it has made another dodge, it moves up into the _4th._ place, where twice it lyeth still; and down again; except the _Treble_ happens to dodge with it in the _4th._ place, then it _Hunts_ up behind. When the _Treble_ moves down out of the _3d._ place, the two _bells_ in the _3d._ and _4th._ place continue there, till the _Treble_ comes up thither again, the two hind _bells_ dodging in the mean time.

Both these _bobs_ will go _One Hundred_ and _Twenty Changes_, and by making of _bobs_, they will go, 240, 360, or 720. And thus with little Variation, there are other _bobs_ may be made after the same manner, and afford as Admirable Musick, as possibly can be made on _bells_. I shall therefore hasten to finish this dayes Work, only first present you with this one more called,

The City Delight: _Doubles_ and _Singles_.

The whole _Hunt_ is the _Treble_, and lieth as before in the _Nightingale_: When the _Treble_ moves out of the _3d._ place, the _Singles_ are made in the _2d._ and _3d._ places, till the _Treble_ repossesses his _3d_ place, and then behind, till it moves up again out of the _3d._ place. The two Hind _bells_ dodge, when the _Treble_ moves out of the _4th._ place, till he returns again; the _bell_ in the _4th._ place lying still all the while.

This will go as many _Changes_ as the last mentioned, by making _bobs_.

And here I will shut up this dayes Peal, upon Six Bells with

The Evening Delight.

_Doubles_ and _Singles_.

The Whole-_Hunt_ is the _Treble_, and lyes as before specified, with this exception only: That it dodges in the _2d._ and _3d._ places, every time it _Hunts_ up, and down. Observe when _Treble_ goes to lead, and leaves of leading, the _bells_ in the _3d._ and _4th._ places lye still, _&c._ Note the p.r.i.c.king this _Peal_.

123456 ------ 213465 231465 213645 231645 236154 263154 236514 263514 265314 256341 265431 256431 254613 245613 254163 245163 241536 214536 241356 214356 124365 142365 124635 142635 ------ 146253 164235 _bob._ 146253 164235 ------ 162453 126453 _bob._ 162435 126435 ------ 124653 142653 124563 142563 ------ 145236 154236 145326 154326 ------ 153462 135462 153642 135642 ------ 136524 163524 _bob._ 136542 163542 ------ 165324 156324 _bob._ 165342 156342 ------ 153624 135624 153264 135264 ------ 132546 123546 132456 123456 ------

This Peal will go 120 _Changes_, and by making _bobs_, as many as above.

Note that in all the foregoing Peals upon _Six bells_, the _bobs_ are double _Changes_, and made alwayes at the leadings of the _Whole-Hunt_.

He that Rings the _Half-Hunt_, may best call _bob_ in all Peales.

I come now to the _Changes_ upon Seven _bells_, which though the seldom Practice of them might excuse my omitting them; yet because I promised to say somewhat of them, I shall be as good as my Word, (the Character of an Honest man) and present you with a couple of Examples, and then proceed to _Peales_ upon _Eight_: But this I must crave leave to premise, That Variety of _Changes_ may be p.r.i.c.k'd upon Seven _bells_, as _Triples_, and _Doubles_, _Triples Doubles_, and _Single Doubles_, &c.

and the same Methods may be p.r.i.c.k'd upon _Seven_, as may be upon _Five_, the true difference of Proportion being observed; but to proceed.

_Dodging Triples._

_Triples_ and _Doubles_, and indeed all _Peals_ upon Six, may likewise go upon Seven _Bells_, thus,

1234567 ------- 2143576 2415367 4251376 4523167 5432617 4523671 5432761 4523716 5432176 5341267 3514276 3152467 1325476 1352746

Plain Triples.

1234567 ------- 2143657 2416375 4261735 4627153 6472513 6745231 7654321 7563412 5736142 5371624 3517264 3152746 1325476

In this all the Bells have a Hunting _Course_.

_Colledge Triples_, dodging before, and behind.

1234567 ------- 2143576 2415367 [printed as: 2415357]

4251376 2453167 4235617 2436571 4263751 2467315 4276135 2471653 4217635 4126753 1462735 1467253 4176235 4712653 7421635 4726153 7462513 4765231

This _Peal_ thus p.r.i.c.k't, will go, 84 _Changes_, and the _Treble_ leading, and the _Half Hunt_ lying next it, and a parting _Change_ (which is a _Double_ on the four middlemost of the Six hind _Bells_) being made, it will go 420, and by making _bobs_, 5040.

Thus much shall suffice for _Peales_ upon Seven _Bells_, I proceed to _Changes_ upon _Eight_.

_Peals of Eight Bells._

Without amusing our selves with what Notes are most _Musical_, to _lye behind_, we will come to the matter of Fact; for those Methods of _Peals_ that are p.r.i.c.k't on _Six_, may be the same upon _Eight_, Observing only, that _Triples_ and _Doubles_ upon _Six_, must be _Quadruples_, and _Triples_ upon _Eight_. _Doubles_ upon _Six_, must be _Triples_ upon _Eight_, &c. Now then to our purpose of Demonstration; We generally give preference to things, as they are dignified with some eminent t.i.tle, and are ready to suppose they may have something more than ordinary, that merits such Esteem, whereof the t.i.tle is but a Sign, or Token; which Custome induced me to head my Discourse upon _Changes_ on _Eight Bells_, with that which carries the most _Swelling_ t.i.tle.

The Imperial Bob: _Quadruples_ and _Triples_.

The _Treble_ hath a dodging _Course_, the two first, and two last _Bells_ always dodge, till hindred by the _Treble_, the two next to these, lying still one _Change_, dodge the next, till the _Treble_ hinders them too. Those in the 5th. and 6th. places dodge (the Treble being behind) and those in the 3d. and 4th. places likewise dodge (the Treble being before) and so till hindered by the Treble.

By this method, the Peal will go 224 Changes, and by making of Bobs it will go 448, 672, 1344. The Bob is a _Triple_ Change at the Leading of the Treble, wherein the Bell in the _Fourth_ place lies still.

The next that comes to our Observation, and answers to what we first hinted at in the beginning of this discourse of Peals upon _Eight_ Bells I mean _Precedency in t.i.tle_, is the

Bob Major.

_Plain Quadruples_ and _Triples_.

In this all the _Bells_ have a direct _Hunting Course_, until the Treble leads, and then the six hindmost _Bells_ dodge.

12345678 -------- 21436587 24163857 42618375 46281735 64827153 68472513 86745231 87654321 78563412 75836142 57381624 53718264 35172846 31527486 13254768 31527486

By this method this will go 112. And by making _Bobs_, 224, 336, or 672.

The _Bob_ is a _Triple Change_, as in the foregoing _Imperial_ is specified. By making two _Extreams_ it will go 1344, and with four _Extreams_, 2688.

All Peals upon six Bells, wherein half the Changes are _Triples_, will go upon _Eight_ according the method before-going, thus; If it be a Peal upon _Six_, consisting of 360, or 720 Changes, then there must be five _Hunts_ in the Ringing of it upon _Eight_, the Treble being the first, 2 the Second, _&c._
