journal 40 chapter 20 pg 189

" It was the same town as heretofore; but the same minister returned not from the forest"
What this is saying is that the events that had occurred in the forest had changed Dimmesdale, but the town while he was gone had not changed at all.  Dimmesdale has changed because he is going to leave with Hester and Pearl and go to move to England and start a whole new life and not worry about what he was doing before.
