2 The Art of Ringiltg. fuort a time it hath increafed, that the very depth of its intricacy is found out; for within thefe Fifty or Sixty years laff: pafr, Changes were not known, or thought poliible to be 1\,.ang: Then were invented tke Sixes, being the very ground of a Six [&ore: Then the TrPm-t], and T went]· fo~~t, vyith feveral other Ch~tnf.rs. But Cambridge FortJ·eight, for many years, was the greatefl PeAl that was ~ng or invented; but now, neither Forty-eight., nor a IJundreJ, nor Sevm-hNndrtd mul trPerJt], nor any Number can confine us ; for \Ye can Ring Ch.cng•s, Atl inftnitNm. Although Philofophers (ay , 'N..,o ~mfJer i4 it~p· nite, b"11u{e it ea• be numbred; for ,,. finite is a quantity that cannot be taken or afligned, but there is (inftnitHm quoatl nos) as they term i r,that is infinite in refpea of our apprehenfwn : There-fore a 'R.i_ngtrs knowledge may feem ;,_ finite to dlve fo infinite/] into ru,h an infinite SubjeCt; but leaft my Difcourfe lhould be inft,itt,I will conclude it, and proceed to the Peals following.

Before I Treat of the method and di. verfity of Tet~ls, l think it not imperti-n:nt t.o fpeak fometaing of the Pr~pe:

tus

The Art of Ringi11g. ~ ties wherewith a roung Ringer ought to be qualified, and tb~n proceed to the Peals. F irj then, before he is entred into a C ompanJ, it is prefuppofed, that he is able to Set A Bell F ore-flr~k! antl Bttck._ftrok§, as the terms are: Next, that be know how to Ring Rouwd, or Under- J~tll] : Then , that he may be complete, it is c0nvenient, that he un-derHand the Tuning of BeOs ; for what is a Mt~fttittn, unlds he can Tune his Inftrument, although he plays never f& well? To do which, ler him team on fome I nflrumtnt, or W]tr· Be Os ,to knew a Third, Fifth, and eighth, which are the principal Concords: Or otherwi!e, let him get a Pipe called a Pitch-pipe, which may be made by any Orglfn-miC-k.!r, to contain eight 'N.._otes, or more, (according to his pleafure) with their Fl1ttts and sh.,rpJ, which will be very ufeful in the Tt~ningof EtilJ, And the11 this is a general Rule, begin at the Ten-nor, or biggeft Be/J, and count 3 whole 'l~Utn,thl!n a half Note,or sh.,rp, 3 whole Now, then ah4lfNote,orSharp; and (o on, until you come to the tuft Fell or Treble. For example on f.,u.,. BeNs, I :z 34., here the 4 3 ~ are who!~

On Six, 123:4~6 the h•lf 'N.;te or Sh~~rp is between 3 and 4· On Eight Bells, 1:2.34~:678t one h•lf 'N._ote or Sh11rp is between 5 and 6 and the other between 1 and 1. On Te,, n3:4~67:89ro; here one h.tlf Nqte is between 7 and 8 , amd the n~t between 3 and 4· On T.,tlfle Bells, I1:H-5':6789no u ·u. Here one h,clf Note or Shterp is between 9 and 1 o, the next between 5 and 6, alild the other between 2. and 3 , which lat\ is made contrary to the for-mer. Rwle, it being but t"R1o wholt 'l'{ow from the next half Note to it; the reafon is this. the Ni~Jtb is one whole Note below the Eighth, therefore the z muA: be a who/1 N1tt bdow the Treble, otherwife they would not be a true Eighth, therefQre the h11lf Note is put between 2. and 3. Now he that bath thefe Rules, and a good ear to judge of the C1nC1rds, may at any time call his Verdia (as to Bells, whether rheyl~re well in Tune or not) amon~{l the chief of the Comp~tnJ. Of

Of the Changes.

A Ch.tnge is made bet9Yeen tw1 Re/Is that {hikes next to each oth-!r,by removing into each others pla-ces, as in thefe tffo Figures 1 ,2. make a Change benveen theln, and they will Rand 1, 1. which is called a ChAnge; mJke another Cht~~tge between them , and they will £land in their right places, as at fir£r, 1 ,2. Thefe tw()Ch~tnges are all that can be made on two Bells.

The Changes on three BeUt.

Oo three Bells there are fix fevtrt~l Ch~tn_{es to be made ; in Ri11gi11g o£ which, there is ''~~'Bell to be ob(e~ved, which is call:d tl:!e HHnt, and the other tw1 are Extre~tm Btllr (bat they can-not properly be r~ called, becaufe every Belt hunts in the fix Ch11nges ; yet be· caule 'tis commonly Ra•g l>y obfervin~ a H11nt and t111 ExtreAr~~ Bells, I will therefore proceed in that courfe. ) The name of Hu•t is properly given to it, becattfe of its continual motion up and

6 'The Art tf Ringing. do"n amongfl the other Bd/s,which mo. tion is called H11nting ;and tie other Jwo are called Extream Bells, becaufe when the Hunt is either before or be-hind them, that is at the Extream, or utmofl place, there is a Cha»ge then to be made between them, called an Ex-trum Cha,ge. There are two feveral wayes to Ring the ftx Chttngu. One whereof is t4) make the Trehle the RNnt, and the•ther way is to make tl.o!e 7 enor the Hunt. I will give an Ex-ample in hunting the Treble, the BeDs are fuppofed to {land thus.- I 13

Now theTreblr: mufi be hunt-td up over the Sec1nd and Third, which is to be done, by making a Cha11ge between tbe Tre£/e,and each of thofe two Bells in order; therefore firH: I remove the Tre-ble up over the Su:ond, into the {econdsplace,by making aChange between the Treble and Second, thu,.------- z13

The Treble being removed up over the Sew•d, it mull next be removed up over th.: Tbird,as in this Change.--- 231

Ahvayes

The Art of Ri11ging. 7 Alwayes obferve , that when the

H11nt moves from the foremoA: &ll to~ ward the hindmoH, then it hunts up,as in the {h•ny_es next before; but Whi!n it moves or hunts from the hindmoft Bell, toward the Bell that leads, then . it huntt down, as appears by the CbAnf.tl following. The Treble being hunted up behind the Extream Bells, an &x. trum. Change is next to be made be-tween th:m. -----32 I

Here you may obferve, that if the HNnt had been hMnted down without an Extrum Cl1t~11ge firA: made , thofe ChAnfet in hunting it clown , would have l>een the fame with thofe that were made in h11nting it up.

The Extret~m Ch11ng1 being made, the 7're.!t mull be h1111ttd down again before the Bells tbur. 3 12

The other way to Ring the fix Cb~tnges , is , to make the Tenor the Hunt, which being behind already, it

T!Je Plain Changes on four BeUt.

On four BellS, there are 7 ~tntJ four /evtrlll Chilnges, in Ringing of which, there is one Bell called 1he HH11t, and the other three are Extwtm Bells ; the HHnt moves, and hunts up and down continually, and lies but once in one

. place, except only when it comes be-. fore or behind the Bells,at which time it lies there twice together ; it has the fame courfe here, as in the fix (h11wgn be-

fore

The Art of Rbtging. 9 fore fet down-; two of the ExtreAw Bells makes a Ch11nge every time the HHIJt comes berore or b~hind them. An Example 1 will here give, makin~ the Treble the Hunt, and the Ex trtAm Ch11ngu I make between the two far .. theU: Extream Bells from the HHnt. I fet dovvn the ftJur Figurts, reprefenting the fqur ells thus.---- I u 3 4

The Tre~le .mull now be h11nted up bt:hind the Bells ,

1

· where it is to lie twice to-gether, and tben to hNnt down before them, where it mun ~~e 1 twice,and then hunt up again as before. The HHnt is a1- j wayes one of the t1vo Bells which makes every ( h11nge, 1: except only when it comes be-fore or behind the Bells, and it [ movl!s only over one Bell at a time ; 'til to be hnnttd up

1 after this manner.·---- z q 4 The Treble bein~ bHntrd z 3 14 up ~hlnd the Belts, as appea~ s l z 341 by the laH Ch11ngu,the next is to be an Exere11m Ch~enge b~- j tween the t'No fartheit Ex- I m.r, .Bells from the Hunt, .

1 he Treble being huuted· down, there is a11other E.xtreamChange to I b~ n·ade between the two farthefi Bells from it J which are the Second I :md Fourth.------

The Enream being made , the Treble mufi be hunted as before,anJ fo to the end vf the Ileal, making :tn E;·.tream Change every ti!De the Hunt comes before aud behmd the Bells.------

TheTwentv-four Changes are to he k;mg another way,in hunting up I the Treble, which is , by making every Extream Chanue bttween the two nearefi Bells to the Hunt, as in I thefe Changes, firfi I hunt the Tre-ble up.- - u341

The Treble being hnnted ~ 13 4 up, the Extream Change ,is ~3 I 4 to be m:1de between the 3, ~ 34 I ,. :;

The Art DJ Ringing. 11 There two wayes in Ringing the

Tw~nty-foHr, differs only in making the Extr~t~~m Ch;mg~s, one whereof is to make them between the two fartheG: ExtrMm Bells from the Hunt,and the oth::r to make them between the two neareft Bells to it.

The Twt~ltJ-four Cb~t~tgts are to be l~eng two wayes more in bHnti>'~g down tbe Treble ; one way, is to make the Extrettms between the nvo farthe(l Bells f:om the HNnt; and the other, is to make them between th~ two nearell,. as before. A lhort Example I will fet clown, the ~ells llana bus.-~ 12 34

The T reb!e lhoutd now be 1243 hunted down, but it being al-~ 2143 ready bef0re the Bells, into- 2413 mnch that it can be removed .t4 3 I no lower; therefore the firH I 42 3 I muft be an Extr~11m Change, 4z 13 eith:r between the two nea-1 4n 3 reil, or two farthell Bells from . .I 4 2 3 the Hunt at pleafure; the Ex-~ I 43 z trtam being made, the Trtb!e 4 I p is to hunt up, and fo to the I 4 3 n end of the P et~~l, in the fame 4 3 u courfe as before. 134H In hHIIting the Stc~nd, Third; 341 z

Firft, I hH11t up the third over 11143 th: foHrth; the Hu11t 9eing up, z I 4 3 1 make an tXtrt/1111 between tie zq 4 trtble andfuond, and then b11nt !1. ~I 4 down the third again, as in thefe l3 2 I 4 ch~t»ges, which courfe is to be I obferved to the end of the Pet~/.

The TwentJ·four plain changes are to b: Rang fixteen (everal wayes; in hrmt-ing one Bell, it is to be R4JtJg four ways; thlt is, trYQ wayes in hunting it up, and the other two wayes in hunting it down, (as appears in my direaions before in bHnting the treble:) fo that in hunting the 4 Hells, 'tis to be RAng 4 times -+ wayes,which makes 16, fome of whic;h I have here fet down.

14 The Art of R.iflglng. In the Twenty four Changes are con•

tained the fix ( h.:nges ; the three Ex· tre11m Bells in the Twenty fuUr, makes the fix Changes incoune, every extream ehange be111g one of the fix, and the H11nt hunting through each of the fix Changes, makes T wenty·four: For Ex-ample, take the three Extream Bells in the firll Twenty.four fecdown before, which are 234, and fet down the fix ChAnges on them, thtis.-~ z 34

Now take the firll Change, 31+ which is z 3 4, fet the Treble I 3 4z. before it, and hunt it through, 43 2; thus.---~ 11.34\423

18 The Arl tif Ringing. The Plain Changes on five

BeDs.

There are Six-{core Chttnges to be Rang on five Bells , which are to be Ra~g, by obferving a whole Hunt, a ht~IJ Hunt, and three Extream Bells; the courfe of the whole HHnt , is the fame with the Hunt in the TweiiiJ-four Ch11ngu, and hNnts up and down in the fame manner. The half Hunt . moves once, that is, over one Bell eve-ry time, the whole Hunt comes before and behind the Bells; but when the h11lf Hunt is removed either before or behind the Extrettm Bells,then there is an Extrettm Ch~tnge to be made. For Example, I make the Treble the whole Hunt, and hunl it up; and the Second the half Hunt, and half hunt it up, making every l!xtrea111 Change between the two far theft Extrea, Bells from the h~tlf Hunt; the Extream BeNs are the Third, F~urth, Fifth: Now obferve, that whereas in the TwentJ-four ChAn-ges, an Extre;~m Change was alwayes made, when the whole Hunt came before or behind the Bells, in there Six-{rore

Another thort Example I will inferr, which is Secontl down, and F~tmh up, ( for t!at is the common Phrafe amonzCt Ringers) whereby 'tis alwayes to be obferved, that the firfl Bell which is na-med, is the whole Hunt, and the fecond that is named, is the ht~lf Hunt,as here-in you may perceive ; where Second down, is meant, that the Second Bell is the whole Hunt, and to hnnt down the firfl Ch.-nge; and th~ Fourth Bell is the h•lf Hunt and to h11l[ btmt up, that is, to move up towards the hindmoA: Bell the firH. ttme ir moves at the begin-nin~ of the 'Peal; which are only di-rections in making the firfl Changes, for one r~hrJle Hunt and hAlf Hunt may be hunted feveral wayes, either up or down at pleafure.

prehended the Twenty-four, and the Six Changes: The Twenty-four Chan-ges are made between the half Hunt, and the three Extream Bells; and the Six are made between the Extream Bells alone : The half Hunt in the Six: -fcore, is the whole Hwnt in the Twenty -fo~:~r; and there is one ChanEe in the Twenty-four made every time the whole Hunt comes before and behind the Bells ; and one Change in the Six made every Extream : So that the Six· fcore rightly underllood, is no .. thing elle but huntic~ the half Hnnt through every Change of the Six , which makes Twenty-four Chang~s ; and then hunting the whole Hur,t through each ( bange of the Twen-ty-four , which makes Six-[core ; fo.r inllance , in the firH Six-fcore before fet down , where the treble is the whole Hunt, the fecond the half Hunt, and the 345' the EKtream Bells.

In Ringing the Seven hundred and Twenty, there is a whole Hunt, a half Hunt, a quarter Hunt, and three Ex-tream,£ells; the wh')le Hunt and half Hunt does hunt in the fame courfe and method, as they did in the Six-fcore on five Bells, and ·in the la(l Six-fcore ;·and the qttarter Hunt removc:s-in the fame courfe under the half Hunt, as, the half Hunt does under the whole Hunt: for inltance, when the whde Hunt is hunted either before or behind the Bells, then

meant,that the treble is the whole hMnt, and to hunt up the firH C-hange at the beginning of the Peal ; the fecond is the half hunt, and to half huot up; that is, to move up t~vvards the hind moll: Bells the firil time it moves at the beginning of the Peal ; and the third is the quar-ter hHnt, and to move lihwife toward the bindmofi Bells the firtt time it re-moves. And by treble and fecond up, and third down, is meant,that the treble and fecond are to move up towards the hindmoll Bell, the firH time each re. moves at the beginning of the Peal ; and the third being the quarter hunt, is. to move down the firfi time, which are on.

Sometimes it happcns,.that the h11nt:r cannot be hunted that way which is pro-po!ed, as in the 7:1.0, treble;fecond and third all down.---1z3456

The wF!ole hunt which is the treble, lhould now be humeddown; but it be-ing already before the Bells, infomuch that. it can be removed no lower ; I Jhould therefore remove the half h1M

I might demcmfirate how the 7 2. o are to be Rang twelve wayes, with each of the Six- (core Hunts, as I did that of tre-ble, fccond and third ; but 1 think that altegether needfefs, fiDce that Example makes it mof:l: plain and eafie te be un-dedlood: But I will give a general Rule for hWltiog any whole Hunt, half Hunr, and quarter Hunt, fo as to produce fix feveral wayes to Ring the 72.oChanges, which is this:

Which is a general Rule to Ring the 72o (ix wayes on any one of the Six-

fcore

The .Art lj Ringing. S r fcore Hunts; each of which fix wayes, may be Rang two wayes more, by al-tering the Extre~11J Cbangu, one of which is to make the Extr111m Ch~t11ges between the two next £xtream Bells to the quarter Hunr, and the other way is to make the Extre~~ms between the nvo fartheO: Extream Beltsfrom it.

The 7~o Changes are to be Rang 1 2t wayes wich one whole Hunt; half Hunt, and quarter Hunt; fo that with the Six-fcore Hunts, it is to be Ranz Six fcore times twelve wayes, which makes One thoufand four hundred and forty feveral wayes to Ring this 7'-oplain Changes.

In the 710, the half Hunt, the quar-ter Hunt, and the three Extrelftm Bells, makes the Six:-fcore Changes on ; Bells in a perfeCt courfe, the half Hunt and quarter hunt in the 72o,b~ing the whole Hunt and half Hunt in the Six-fcore; for Example, take the z 345 6, and fet down the Six-fcore Changes on them, m 1king the fecond, the whole hunt , and th~ third the half hunt; which when you hlVi:!

You may take the fix- fcore changes ()D five bells, treble t~ whole, and fccond the half hnnt , before iet do1vn; and hunt th.: fixth bell through every change of that fiK-fcore , which will make the J'Z.O changes ; Tenor tbe whole hunt, Treble the half hunt , and Second the q1.1arter hunt.
