Consider the following Bible verse: "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." (Exodus 22:18). Now, think
about the Puritan beliefs about the Bible as the word of God.
In Act I, Giles Corey says of John Proctor, "He don't believe in witches." Proctor replies, "I never spoke on witches one way or the other." (1255-6)
How would the Puritans respond to someone who claims he doesn't believe in witches? How might a
Puritan respond to John's answer?
