"Shall I lie down again on these withered leaves.................Must I sink down there, and die at once?"
Dimmsdale would rather die then be with chillingoworth. Puritans believe that god has already choosen wether they are going to heaven or hell. Dimmsdale would rather take his chances on going to hell, then stay with Roger who is like the devil.
Okay. So Dimmesdale is a true Puritan. Does he know he is going to Heaven?
