They tell him that she shows no physical signs of it, but if she does that they will pardon her. He tells them that she would never lie and that if she says it, it must be true.

Answer: Adultery

Ironicly this is the one that he forgets, and it is the one that he has broken. He says his commandments to Rev. Hale when he comes to the Proctor's home one night.

Answer: Yes, she lies to save John's name.

She lies and says that John didn't commit adultery to help save his name, even though he has already told people to discredit Abigail. The judges take her seriously and believe that her word is true because John told them that she would never lie.
