Dignity, in Latin English form dignitas, in German
English, worthyness, bears tacit but constant and necessary
reference, to a something of which the individual in question
is regarded as worthy. This something is always either
the matter of good in all shapes or in some particular shape or other, or the
matter of evil in all shapes, or in some particular
shape or other: or worthy, in the opinion of him
who speaks or of some other or others of whom he is
speaking. Worthy of the matter of good a person may
be presumed with propriety and without necessary reference to
any ulterior and considered as likely to be accomplished
by the matter of good bestowed – any end beyond his the
comfort of the person in whom the matter of good is bestowed.
An example of this case is that of the labourer when
he is pronounced "worthy of his hire". In this sense worthyness
agrees with merit and meritoriousness merit being
a possession ascribed to the person, meritoriousness a quality
ascribed to service which in some shape or
other he is regarded as having rendered: rendered to
some person or persons determinate or indeterminate.

Worthy of the matter of evil a person can not
be said to be with propriety be said to be: since for since
evil can not with propriety to the ultimate end in view of
human action in any case: if in any case it
be an end of human action it can only be an intermediate
end in a word a means a means of giving
boost to some of good in some preponderant shape or
other to a preponderant amount. With propriety A criminal can no
more be said to be worthy of having suppose his hand cut off by the execution for
a crime than a patient of having his hand cut off by a surgeon
to save him from perishing
by a mortification.
