What does Parris insinuate about Abigail's reputation?

I read that play almost a year ago now, so my memory is a little bit rusty, but I believe that Parris thinks Abigail had made a deal with the Devil. I don't exactly know what part of the play this is in (I think it's near the beginning), so that might effect the accuracy of my answer. If this doesn't sound right, let me know where you are, and I'll try to be of more help.

Why is Reverend Parris dissatisfied with his job in Salem?

It was apparently a hard job. In the first fifteen years Salem Village had a church, they had had three ministers before Parris showed up in 1688. None of the previous had left on good terms or with all their money. That's not a good thing. There wasn't a real sense of community in Salem Village because of the separation between homes in the farming community, so the people had a habit of not getting along and turning to the reverend to help them. He either was a bad mediator or the Salem Villagers didn't want to make peace. He did some relatively stupid things, like asking for title to his rectory (which was owned by the town, like the church) and buying gold candlesticks for the church. Such actions were frowned upon. There were some issues about paying Parris and giving him his firewood. Summary: The Salemites were a difficult bunch to deal with and Parris was sort of naive and bad with people.
