There are four allurements looked on his way home and these are:
the discussion he had with the Deacon,
what Mistress Hibbins talked into Dimmesdale's ears about setting off to the forested areas with her around evening time,
craving towards a young lady, and nearly
showing awful things to the young of the town.
Dimmesdale thinks these allurements are the consequence of marking his name over to the Black Man, and doing his work, or that he has gone crazy. The storyteller gives us the point of view that Dimmesdale may become hopelessly enamored, and the sentimental qualities are taking him over. To the advanced peruser, these allurements could be caused by his ethical still, small voice assuming control, much the same as some other individual.
