(but they
cannot properly be so called, because every _Bell_ _hunts_ in the _six
Changes_; yet because 'tis commonly _Rang_ by observing a _Hunt_
and _two Extream Bells_, I will therefore proceed in 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

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.--
