    Chillingworth offers to put Dimmesdale 'in heart and strength' to preach his next 'Election Sermon', but Dimmesdale declines, having been rejuvenated by 'the sight of the holy Apostle yonder and the free air which I have breathed' (297). Chillingworth inwardly recognises that Dimmesdale is now his 'bitterest enemy' but again tries unsuccessfully to offer his medicine to the priest.
