"We dream in our waking moments, and walk in our sleep. Come, good Sir, and my friend, I pray you, let me lead you home!"
"How knewest I was here?" asked the minister, feafully.
"Verily and in good faith," answered Roger.
Dimmesdale has just been given an excuse by Roger for why he is out and about this late at night. Roger has been caught by Arthur since he has seen his malevolent smile from the scaffold. When Arthur speaks again he fearfully asks Roger how he knew he was on the scaffold. He follows up by claiming to be in good faith, but of course his view of good faith is ungodly.
I think when Roger calls Dimmesdale sir he is calling him the authority figure of Hester and Pearl.
