it can be numbred_; for _infinite_ is a quantity that cannot
be taken or assigned, but there is (_infinitum quoad hos_) as
they term it, that is _infinite_ in respect of our apprehension:
Therefore a _Ringers_ knowledge may seem _infinite_ to dive so
_infinitely_ into such an _infinite_ Subject; but least my
Discourse should be _infinite_, I will conclude it, and proceed
to the _Peals_ following.

Before I Treat of the method and diversity of _Peals_, I
think it not impertinent to speak something of the _Properties_
wherewith a _Young Ringer_ ought to be qualified, and then
proceed to the _Peals_. _First_ then, before he is entred
into a _Company_, it is presupposed, that he is able to _Set
a Bell Fore-stroke and Back-stroke_, as the terms are: Next,
that he know how to _Ring Round_, or _Under-sally_: Then, that
he may be complete, it is convenient, that he understand the
_Tuning of Bells_; for what is a _Musician_, unless he can
_Tune_ his _Instrument_, although he plays never so well? To
do which, let him learn on some _Instrument_, or _Wyer-Bells_,
to know a _Third_, _Fifth_, and _Eighth_, which are the
principal _Concords_: Or otherwise, let him get a _Pipe_
called a _Pitch-pipe_, which may be made by any _Organ-maker_,
to contain _eight Notes_, or more, (according to his pleasure)
with their _Flatts_ and _Sharps_, which will be very useful in
the _Tuning of Bells_. And then this is a general Rule, begin
at the _Tenor_, or _biggest Bell_, and count 3 _whole Notes_,
then a _half Note_, or _Sharp_, 3 _whole Notes_, then a
_half Note_, or _Sharp_; and so on, until you come to the
_least Bell_ or _Treble_. For example on _four Bells_, 1:234,
here the 432 are _whole_ _Notes_, and the _half Note_ or
