ghteen-score (which
is half the Seven-hundred and twenty, and a complete
Peal of it self) the changes are all treble and double
without any single change therein; for you must know,
that in any Peal of Grandsire bob, the bells will come
round in course at the end of Eighteen-score changes,
if you make no single change to carry it on farther to
the end of the Seven-hundred and twenty.
This Peal has a whole hunt, a half hunt, a quarter hunt, and
three extream bells; every bell hunts in a direct course, and
lies twice together before, and twice behind, until the whole
hunt leads, and then the four hindmost bells do dodge, that is,
they make a double change; in which 'tis alwayes observed,
that the two bells which lie in third and fifths places (in
the change next before the dodge) are hunting down, and in
making this double change, each of those bells do dodge with
the bell next above it, that is, they move up over one bell,
and then each of them moves directly down; and the two bells
that lie in fourth and tenors places in the change next
before every dodge, are hunting up, and in making the dodge
change, each of those bells do move down under one bell, and
then they move up again in their course, as before; the dodge
changes in all Peals of Trebles and Doubles, are made in the
same manner as these.
There are two sorts of bobs in this Peal, viz. a single,
and a double Bob; the Rule for making the single bob, is
this, when the whole hunt leads, and the half hunt lies
in tenors place, and the quarter hunt in fourths place,
the next change is a bob; and when the whole hunt leads,
and the half hunt lies in fifths place, and the quarter
hunt in seconds place, then there is a double bob, that
is, two bob-changes; one of which is made the next change,
and the other is made the next time the whole hunt leads
after. The bobs are all double changes, and made in one
and the same manner (i.e.) the leading bell, and that in
fourths place, do both lie still, whil'st the two bells in
second and thirds places, and those in fifth and tenors
places make the bob-change; and as soon as 'tis made,
the bell in fourths place moves directly down. The half
hunt is alwayes one of the two hindmost bells which makes
every bob-change.
In Ringing this Peal, there is a Rule observed, whereby
the person that does Ring the quarter hunt, may give
notice of the bobs before they come to be made, without
which it were impossible to Ring it; the
