ur hindmost bells; and in hunting the
fifth bell up, the first change is made between the four
foremost bells.
There is another way to Ring this Peal of Grandsire, which
is, to make the bobs and single changes when the whole hunt
lies behind the bells; but this is not convenient to be
practised, therefore I will say no more of it in this place,
having only mentioned this, to shew the great variety there
is in this Peal.
This Peal of Grandsire is to be Rang by another course,
viz. to make the bobs when the whole hunt is behind
the bells, and the single changes, when it lies before
them. This is the absolute foundation from whence the
excellent Peal of Grandsire bob (on six bells) had its
beginning and method, and by practising to prick down
this Peal, and by observing the true course and method
of the bobs and single changes herein, you may with the
greatest ease understand the true course of the bobs and
single changes in Grandsire bob on six bells, for the half
hunt, the quarter hunt, and the three extream bells (in
Grandsire bob on six bells) do make these sixscore changes;
every time the whole hunt leads in Grandsire bob, there are
two changes made in this Peal of Grandsire on five bells:
And so consequently, the single changes in Grandsire bob
are made by the same rule and method as they are in this
Peal. The Rule for making the bobs in this Peal, is this
(viz.) when the whole hunt lies in the fourths place hunting
up, and the half hunt leads, the next is a double Bob: And
when the whole hunt lies in the tenors place, and the half
hunt in thirds place, then the next change is a single bob,
the bobs are made between the two first and two last bells,
that in thirds place lies still in the bob change, and then
moves up. The single changes are made when the whole hunt
leads; the first single change (in Ringing it with any whole
hunt and half hunt) may be made at any time when the whole
hunt leads, within sixty changes from the beginning of the
Peal, accounting the bells as they stand round at the beginning
for one of the sixty changes. The single change that is made
the next time the whole hunt leads after a single bob, is
made in fourth and fifths places; and that which is made next
after a double bob, is made in second and thirds places, the
half hunt is alwayes one of the two bells which makes every
single change. If the first single change is made after a
single bob, then the second single change must be
