This is my favorite chapter because Hester tells Chillingworth that she cannot remove the scarlet letter willingly because the only one who has authority to do so is God and he decides when its time. Hester and Chillingworth talk for a while and Hester notices that Chillingworth has become evil because of all the things he has done with Dimmesdale and looking for revenge has gone to far. Chillingworth thinks that Dimmesdale has increased his debt because he has let him live with him and its his own fault of his actions.
"...evidence of a
man's faculty of transforming himself into a
devil...." 

This quote is important because Chillingworth's actions have turned him into a devil in looking for revenge, he has done actions that went ahead of its limits. Dimmesdale and Hester are not the only ones doing sins now, Chillingworth is also added to the list.
