A man from Winchester Park in the London Borough of Southwark, described as a physician or astrologer who provides John Crump a means of curing his bewitched daughter, Hannah Crump. Anonymous 147 suggests that in order to unwitch Hannah, he would have to take the curse on himself. The curse, he suggests, needs to be carried by someone; if not Hannah, than him, if not him the witch who cursed her would have to carry the curse until her familiars could plague someone else with it.

Anonymous 147 Astrologer
1469

A man likely from Berkhamsted in the county of Hertfordshire, described as an "Astrologer & Chiromancer," who helps diagnose Mary Hall as possessed. He suggests hanging a sigil (or magic symbol) about the necks of the possessed, claims to have cured a twelve or fourteen year old boy (improperly) diagnosed by physicians as having "had Hysterick Fits." He claimed treating Hall as a hysteric would not cure her, and appears to have used "Amara Dulcis, a Mercury Placit," or woody night-shade. Nicholas Culpeper describes the herb as "excellently good to remove witchcraft both in men and beasts, as also all sudden diseases whatsoever."(39)
