Some English witches in Somersetshire used instead to say, "Thout, tout, throughout and about;" and when they wished to return from their meeting they said "Rentum, tormentum!" If this form of the charm does not manufacture a horse, not even a saw-horse, then I recommend another version of it, thus: "Horse and pattock, horse and go! Horse and pellats, ho, ho, ho!" "Up and away! Hi!
That when she hath a desire to do harm she calls the Spirit by the name of Robin, to whom, when he appeareth, she useth these words, O Sathan, give me my purpose. She then tells him what she would have done. And that he should so appear to her was part of her Contract with him." And when they go off from their Meetings they say, Rentum, Tormentum.
They were obliged to anoint themselves on these occasions "with an oyl the spirit brought them;" and they were soon transported to the place of appointment, using these words in their transit, "Thout, tout, a tout tout, throughout and about!" and on their return they say "Rentum, tormentum!"
