But this child claims the girls are not truthful. I’ll not conceal it, my hand shakes yet as with a wound! I pray you, sir, this argument let lawyers present to you. I have this morning signed away the soul of Rebecca Nurse, Your Honor. Excellency, I have signed 72 death warrants I am a minister of the Lord, and I dare not take a life without there be a proof so immaculate no slightest qualm of conscience may doubt it. I denounce these proceedings, I quit court! - he's had enough, he disagrees with every thing the court has had to say. he's talking about how when the girls "cry" the court listens, some one dies. Excellency, there are orphans wandering from house to house abandoned cattle bellow on the highroads, the stink of rotting crops hangs everywhere, and no man knows when he harlot's cry will end his life. Woman, before the laws of God we are swine! We cannot read His will! -he is concerned about Proctor as he believes him. when he came he thought that he was helping save people from the devil but instead they were accused and killed, so now he comes back to help them from being accused for some thing they haven't done. Quail not before God's judgment in this, for it may well be God damns a liar less than he that throws his life away for pride. I beg you, woman, prevail upon your husband to confess. Life, woman, life is God's most precious gift no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it. It is mistaken law that leads you to sacrifice. Beware, Goody Proctor - cleave to no faith when faith brings blood. I came into this village like a bridegroom to his beloved, bearing gifts of high religion the very crown of holy war I brought, and what I touched with my bright confidence, it died and where I turned the eye of my great faith, blood flowed up. He’s too certain that the devil is in Salem.


Mister, I have myself examined Tituba, Sarah Good, and numerous others that have confessed in dealing with the Devil.
