Describe in your own words what is meant by the statement taken from act ii. hale: proctor, i cannot think god be provoked so grandly by such a petty cause. the jails are packed – our greatest judges sit in salem now – and hangin’s promised. man, we must look to cause proportionate. were there murder done, perhaps, and never brought to light? abomination? some secret blasphemy that stinks to heaven? think on cause, man, and let you me to discover it.

In this statement, Reverend Hale is encouraging Proctor to think about his sins. Hale tells him that God rarely sends so much disgrace and is so provoked out of some small sin. And as people everywhere are angry, they must look for the cause. He believes there must be a significant sin that was committed in the community. He encourages Proctor and the village to think of their actions, and help him discover the truth.
