Danforth "Mr. Hale.. their punishment" page 1326
References from the bible have been used a lot so far in this play, which can better explain this time period. Now a days we use references to pop culture to discribe what we mean and not biblical references but in that time every one was familiar with the bible which is why they used terms from it. This says quite a lot about the time period that they where in, it was a puritan society which explains why every one over reacted once one person claimed that the devil is loose in Salem.
