those_o five_o man_n may_v change_v place_n with_o each_o other_o whereby_o they_o may_v sit_v sixscore_o time_n in_o a_o row_n and_o not_o twice_o alike_o and_o likewise_o a_o peal_n of_o five_o

the_o note_n of_o the_o bell_n may_v change_v into_o each_o other_o place_n at_o pleasure_n now_o this_o art_n also_o direct_v the_o manner_n and_o method_n of_o change_v the_o five_o note_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o may_v strike_v sixscore_o time_n round_o and_o not_o twice_o alike_o the_o number_n of_o change_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v discover_v two_o mus_fw-la first_o be_v admit_v to_o be_v vary_v two_o way_n then_o to_o find_v out_o the_o change_n in_o three_o the_o change_n on_o two_o must_v be_v multiply_v by_o three_o and_o the_o product_n will_v be_v six_o which_o be_v the_o complete_a number_n of_o change_n on_o three_o those_o six_o change_n be_v multiply_v by_o four_o will_v produce_v 24_o which_o be_v the_o complete_a number_n of_o change_n on_o four_o the_o 24_o change_n on_o four_o be_v multiply_v by_o five_o will_v produce_v 120_o which_o be_v the_o complete_a number_n of_o change_n on_o five_o and_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o 120_o be_v multiply_v by_o

the_o 5040_o be_v multiply_v by_o eight_o will_v produce_v 40320_o which_o be_v the_o number_n of_o change_n on_o eight_o those_o change_n on_o eight_o be_v multiply_v by_o nine_o will_v produce_v 362880_o which_o be_v the_o number_n of_o change_n on_o nine_o those_o change_n on_o nine_o be_v multiply_v by_o ten_o will_v produce_v 3628800_o which_o be_v the_o number_n on_o ten_o those_o on_o
