Susan Osborn ‘The Witch of Norton’ and Witchcraft Beliefs in Nineteenth-Century Suffolk
In 1926 a short article in Folklore told two stories from Suffolk about some supposedly bewitched pigs and ‘Mrs. O’, a reputed witch. Further information has now been traced about ‘Mrs. O’: she can be identified as Susan Osborn, the daughter of Mary Torbold, another supposed witch. The biographies of these two women provide information about witchcraft beliefs in rural Suffolk during the nineteenth century.
Betty Potter's Dip
Betty Potter's Dip, an unmarked roadside location at Boxted in Essex, is named after Elizabeth Potter, an eighteenth-century suicide who was buried there. Folklore has since assumed that she was a witch. This paper examines the events surrounding Elizabeth Potter's death and burial in relation to the practice of burying suicides by the roadside, and discusses why some roadside burials may have been associated with witches.

Hobbes's Belief in God
This article explores Hobbes's response to the writings of the Old Testament and to the Book of Job in particular, demonstrating his belief that the art of politics consists in the imitation of the commands of an omnipotent God. This idea of imitation is analysed in Hobbes's treatment of covenant, particularly the covenant with Abraham, which Hobbes identified as the paradigm of all covenants. The same notion of imitation is also illustrated in H…
