I have drawn a Line between the Figures at the extream changes, that next below each Line is the extream; the first extream is Forty changes from the beginning.
This Peal is grounded on the Twenty-four changes Doubles and Singles on four bells. The half Hunt, and three extream bells in this Peal, makes the Twenty four changes in a perfect course. There are four changes made in the Twenty-four every time the whole Hunt leads, which coming before the bells six times in the Six-score, and each time lying there four times together, makes six times four changes, which is Twenty four. 'Tis easily made out, if you take every change that is made when the whole Hunt is before the bells in the Six-score before, and set the changes down by themselves (leaving out the treble) where you will find, that the second, third, fourth and fifth, make the Twenty-four changes Doubles and Singles, in a perfect course; second is the Hunt, and the extreams are made when the Hunt is before.
Paradoxmay be rang Six-score several wayes. With one whole Hunt, and half Hunt, it may be rang six wayes,in three of which the whole Hunt is to be hunted up; and in the other three wayes it is to be hunted down, in which six wayes the extream changes are to be made by the same Rules, and in the same manner, as I shewed before in the Six-score Doubles and Singles on five bells; so that with the twenty Hunts, it may be prick't or rang twenty times six wayes, which makes Six-score.
This Peal may be prick't Six-score wayes more, by making the extreams when the whole Hunt lies behind the bells, but that being never practised, I will say no more of it. I have here set down some general Rules for beginning the several Peals ofParadoxby the former course (i.e.) in making the extreams when the whole Hunt is before the bells.
In hunting the treble up, the first change is double between the four first bells, thus.—1234521435In hunting the treble down, the first change is single in third and fourths places(thus.—1234512435)unless the half Hunt lies so, that the extreams may be made.Second up, the first change is single in second and thirds places, thus.—1234513245Second down, the first change is double between the four first bells.Third up, the first change is double between the four first bells.Third down, the first change is single in second and thirds places.Fourth up, the first change is double between the four hindmost bells, thus.—1234513254Fourth down, the first change is double between the four first bells.Fifth up, the first change is single in second and thirds places.Fifth down, the first change is double between the four hindmost bells.
In hunting the treble up, the first change is double between the four first bells, thus.—
In hunting the treble down, the first change is single in third and fourths places
unless the half Hunt lies so, that the extreams may be made.
Second up, the first change is single in second and thirds places, thus.—
Second down, the first change is double between the four first bells.
Third up, the first change is double between the four first bells.
Third down, the first change is single in second and thirds places.
Fourth up, the first change is double between the four hindmost bells, thus.—
Fourth down, the first change is double between the four first bells.
Fifth up, the first change is single in second and thirds places.
Fifth down, the first change is double between the four hindmost bells.
If you observe these Rules aright, together with my former directions, you may with much ease prick down any Peal ofParadox.
This Peal has Six score changes in it, which are Doubles and Singles; the tenor is the whole Hunt, and the fourth the half Hunt. Every bell lies twice before, and four times behind; every single change is made in second and thirds places, and every bell that comes into fourths place, lies there twice together, until the tenor comes behind; at which time, the fourth lying in the seconds place, the next single change is made in third and fourths places; but the tenor lying behind, and the fourth in thirds place, then the two next following single changes are in third and fourths places.

In this Peal calledLondon Pleasure, are Six-score changes, which are all single. It being a confused Peal to ring, I shall say nothing more of it, but expose it to view, as in the following changes.

Every bell leads four times, and lies behind twice, except when the extream is made behind, and twice in the seconds place, except when the extream is before; and note, when the treble is before the fourth stroke, the single is in second and third, the next time the single is behind; but at other times, the single is in third and fourths places. When any bell leaves leading, the double change is on the two first, and two last, and the extreams are made by turns, first behind, then before, and so on to the end, for there are six extreams.
