What is a good quote from Act 1 that proves that Reverend Parris is selfish and greedy?

In an exchange between Giles Corey, John Proctor, and Reverend Parris in Act One, Parris complains he has been waiting for the firewood he claims is part of his contract. Giles corrects him, saying, "You are allowed six pounds a year to buy your wood, Mr. Parris." Parris disagrees, saying "I regard that six pound as part of my salary.

In an exchange between Giles Corey, John Proctor, and Reverend Parris in Act One, Parris complains he has been waiting for the firewood he claims is part of his contract. Giles corrects him, saying, "You are allowed six pounds a year to buy your wood, Mr. Parris." Parris disagrees, saying "I regard that six pound as part of my salary. I am paid little enough without I spend six pound on firewood."

Parris's greed seems evident when he uses the word "regard" to describe the six pounds allotted for firewood. Despite what his contract indicates, he clearly believes he should be paid more, telling John "The salary is sixty-six pound, Mr. Proctor!" Parris goes on to describe himself as a Harvard graduate, "not some preaching farmer." This is an insult to Giles and John, who are both farmers. Parris's attitude is not typical of a Puritan; their philosophy was that one should lay up treasures in Heaven, not concern oneself with worldly gain.
