In the book crucible why does Hale believe devil would strike Rev house?

In the play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, Reverend Parris' house is not mentioned as a specific target of the devil's attacks. Instead, the focus of the play is on the accusations of witchcraft that spread through the town of Salem, Massachusetts, in the late 1600s. These accusations often centered around individuals practicing dark magic or consorting with the devil, but there is no mention of the devil specifically targeting Reverend Parris' house.
