Statute of Secrecy of 1692

[justcarol67]

Has anyone considered the possibility of a connection between the
Statute of Secrecy of 1692 and the Salem Witch Trials in the same
year? I realize that the trials took place in America, but
Massachusetts was a British colony at the time. (My ancestor, Martha
Carrier, was hanged there.)

If the question has already been answered, just point me in the right
direction.

Thanks,
Carol
