I just read that book :) Proctor in Act III Scene I presents a petition to Judge Danforth. This petition was signed by several members of Salem stating that they knew Sarah Good, Goody Proctor, and the others to be good Puritan women. Consequently, these petitioners were all arrested for questioning because Parris accused them of trying to undermine the court.
While in court Francis Nurse has 91 people sign a petition stating that Elizabeth Proctor is innocent. When Danforth sees this petition he wants to bring in all the people that signed the petition and question them of being invalid in witchcraft themselves.
Mary Warren betrays John Proctor by siding with the other girls in their accusations during the Salem witch trials. Despite initially seeking to support Proctor and confess the truth about the falsehood of the accusations, she ultimately succumbs to pressure and fear, denouncing Proctor in court. Her betrayal not only jeopardizes Proctor's life but also reveals the overwhelming influence of hysteria and the loss of moral integrity in the community.

Reverend Paris wants John Proctor to confess to witchcraft to preserve his own reputation and authority in Salem. A confession from Proctor, a respected member of the community, would lend credibility to the witch trials and help justify the actions taken by the court. Additionally, Paris hopes that Proctor's confession could prevent further unrest and potential backlash against the theocratic leadership, ensuring his position remains secure amidst the chaos.
She would have been equal with John Proctor because he had told the truth. Then there would be no penalty for her to be hanged.
John Proctor's faith is questioned in court primarily due to his affair with Abigail Williams and his subsequent criticism of the witch trials. His reluctance to publicly confess his sins and his disdain for the court's proceedings make him appear hypocritical to the judges. Additionally, Proctor's struggle with guilt and his desire to maintain his integrity lead to doubts about his moral standing, further undermining his credibility in a court driven by fear and hysteria.
