the rest, or miss when the rest do; this is contrary to the
Strict Rules of _true Ringing_: And this is called _Round-Ringing_. Now
if you design to raise a Peal of Bells for _Changes_, you ought to raise
them to a Set-Pull, as the most proper for commanding the Notes, and he
who is not well skilled to manage his Bell at a _Set-Pull_, will be apt
to drop or overturn it, be in a Wood, and fruitlessly toil and moil
himself. Therefore in practising the Setting of a Bell, cast your Eye
about the other Bell-Ropes, during your managing your own, that you may
accustome your selfe to manage it according to the _Change_.

2. For _Ringing at a Low Compass_, is thus observed: By keeping a due
_punctum_ or beat of Time, in the successive striking one after another
of every Bell; the _best Ringer_ being set to the _Treble_, that may
guide and direct the rest of the Notes in their due _Measure_.

3. For _Ceasing a Peal of Bells_; Let them fall gradually from a set
_Peal_, checking them only at Sally, till the low Compass renders it
useless; and when so low, that for want of Compass, they can scarce
strike at Back-stroak; then let the _Treble_-Ringer stamp, as a Signal,
to notify, that the next time they come to strike at the Fore-stroke,
to check them down, to hinder their striking the Back-stroke; yet
Fore-stroke continued, till brought to a neat and gracefull Chime, which
may be the _Finis_ to that _Peal_.

Thus much in short, for _Raising_, _Round-Ringing_, and _Ceasing_ a
_Peal_ of _Bells_; I come next to lead you forth into that spacious
_Field_ of Variety of _Changes_, and present you with Instructions that
may be meerly necessary, for the right Understanding the several kinds
of them.

Now in _Ringing Changes_, two of our best Senses, are to be employed,
_viz._ The _Ear_, and the _Eye_: The _Ear_, Hearing when to make a
_Change_; and the _Eye_ directing the _Bell_ in making it: The _Bells_
being the Object of the Former, and the _Bell-Ropes_ the Object of the
Latter. And to render both the Eye and Ear Usefull in Ringing _Changes_,
these _Five_ things are throughly to be Understood

_First._ Endeavour to distinguish the _Notes_ of a _Peal_ of _Bells_,
one from another while Ringing.

_Secondly_, Learn to apprehend the Places of the _Notes_.

_Thirdly_, Understand the Precendency of _Notes_.

_Fourthly_, How to make a _Change_ in _Ringing_.

_Fifthly_, and _Lastly_. How to Practise the four fore-going Notions in
Genera
