I adore The Crucible, and I'm actually excited to find a question about it here (I'm sad, I know). One of the only plays that has made me cry!
Abigail Williams and John Proctor have engaged in an affair prior to this. Proctor evidently still has feelings for Abigail, despite everything, and thus has some hesitation towards revealing her as a liar and a fraud. Him revealing such things would also lead to the exposing of their affair, thus exposing his own wickedness. Equally, although he engaged in adultery, Proctor still sees himself as a Christian man. To implicate the seemingly young and innocent Abigail in such business would taint this, both for himself and in the eyes of the court and community. His place in the community is all he's got left, really, and encompasses most of his identity.

Explanation:
As shown in the comments, this question refers to the book "Esperanza Rising" written by Pam Muñoz Ryan, where we are introduced to a girl named Esperanza who has a very good and trouble-free life on a farm in Mexico, where she lives with the her parents who own this farm. However, when Esperanza's father dies, the family loses all the wealth and stability in which they lived. For this reason, Esperança and her mother need to travel to California and become refugees in the Mexican workers' camp, where Esperança finds herself in an environment with a lot of poverty, a lot of work and a lot of prejudice and difficulties. At this moment, Esperança sees herself as a very strong, hardworking and hopeful girl, who wants to protect herself and her family.
The above phrases were created based on Esperanza's entire experience as a refugee in California.
