'preachers' is the definition.
(gospeller is a kind of preacher)

'try witches perhaps' is the wordplay.
'try' becomes 'go' (both can mean an attempt).
'witches perhaps' becomes 'spellers' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'go'+'spellers'='GOSPELLERS'

Can you help me to learn more?
