that course.) The name of _Hunt_ is?properly given to it, because of its continual motion up?and down amongst the other _Bells_, which motion is called?_Hunting_, and the other _two_ are called _Extream Bells_,?because when the _Hunt_ is either before or behind them,?that is at the _Extream_, or utmost place, there is a _Change_ then to be made between them, called an _Extream Change_.?There are two several wayes to _Ring_ the _six Changes_.?One whereof is to make the _Treble_ the _Hunt_, and the?other way is to make the _Tenor_ the _Hunt_. I will give an Example in _hunting_ the _Treble_, the _Bells_ are supposed to stand thus.--
123
Now the _Treble_ must be _hunted_ up over the _Second_?and _Third_, which is to be done, by making a _Change_?between the _Treble_, and each of those two Bells in order; therefore first I remove the _Treble_ up over the _Second_, into the _seconds_ place, by making a _Change_ between the?_Treble_ and _Second_, thus.--
213
The _Treble_ being removed up over the _Second_, it must?next be removed up over the _Third_, as in this _Change_.--
231
Alwayes observe, that when the _Hunt_ moves from the?foremost _Bell_ toward the hindmost, then it _hunts_ up,?as in the _Changes_ next before; but when it moves or _hunts_ from the hindmost Bell, toward the Bell that leads, then it _hunts_ down, as appears by the _Changes_ following. The?_Treble_ being _hunted_ up behind the _Extream_ Bells, an?_Extream Change_ is next to be made between them.--
321
Here you may observe, that if the _Hunt_ had been?_hunted_ down without an _Extream Change_ first made,?those _Changes_ in _hunting_ it down, would have been?the same with those that were made in _hunting_ it up.
The _Extream Change_ being made, the _Treble_ must be?_hunted_ down again before the Bells thus.--
312
132
The _Treble_ being now _hunted_ down, the next is to be?an _Extream Change_.--
123
which is the last _Change_ of the _six_.
The other way to _Ring_ the _six Changes_, is, to make?the _Tenor_ the _Hunt_, which being behind already, it?must first be _hunted_ down, as in these _Changes_.--
123
132
312
The _Third_, which is the _Hunt_, being _hunted_ down?before the Bells, the _Extream Change_ must next be made?between the 2, and 1. Which are the _Extream Bells_, thus.--
321
The _Extream Change_ being made, the _Third_ must be?_hunted_ up again.--
