Hey, I've got a lot of overdue work, a learning disability & a job. Please help me out if you can! (Really doesn't have to be near perfect, I just need something to put down) The Crucible: Characterization: Act 2

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
"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 help me to discover it."
Describe in your own words what is meant by the statement taken from Act II.
