事之終愈於事之始、心忍愈於心驕、

彼為智為愚、孰克知之、我於日下以智勞力操作者、彼必主之、斯亦虛空、

義人之思維公平、惡人之計謀詭詐、

若心懷嫉很朋黨、則勿誇勿誑、以敵真理、此智非自上而來、乃屬地與慾與魔也、蓋媢嫉朋黨所在、必有紛亂與諸惡行、惟自上之智、則首貞潔、次和平、溫良、柔順、充以矜恤與善果、無貳無偽、仁義之果、乃以和致和者之所播也、爾中之戰鬥爭競、奚自哉、非自戰於爾百體中之慾乎、爾欲而不得、爾殺爾嫉而不能得、戰鬥也、爭競也、爾之無所得者、以爾不求也、

王為幼稚、牧伯晨宴、斯邦禍矣、

國之宰輔、督臣方伯、議士牧伯會議、請降詔諭、立一禁令、三旬之內、惟王是求、此外、凡求神與人者、必投之獅洞、

釁端之起、如水潰決、宜先弭之、以免爭鬥、

偕彼同長之少者曰、斯民謂爾云、爾父使我負重軛、求為我輕之、可答之曰、我之小指、巨於我父之腰、我父使爾負重軛、我必益之、我父責爾以鞭、我則責爾以蠍、
