The community of Salem will use it against him and claim that witchcraft is present in his own household. Therefore, he is putting his job, reputation and possibly other material benefits (such as his house) he has because of being Minister at risk.
In The Crucible, it is evident that Parris's motive is driven by his desire for material things (golden candlesticks, requesting title deeds for his house). Parris aims to protect these benefits.
