毋急怒、毋蓄怨、斯愚人所為。

凌辱之言、有激於懷、烏容不答。

有能辯折我者、我當緘默、沒齒而無怨。

蓋彼雖熱中事上帝、而弗識之、我得為證、

予率爾以吐詞、見絕於爾前、乃籲於上、爾則俯聞。

女亟入見王、請曰、我欲施洗約翰首、盤上即時賜我、

凡我良朋、宜速聽、宜徐言、宜懲忿、

我率爾吐詞、言彼兆民、無一誠慤兮、

怒不遽發者、乃彰其智、性躁急者、適形其愚。

愚者猶可望其改過、造次者畢生絶望。

我欲與爾言、恐爾厭聞、然不得不言、

是理有未明故也、能斥之者惟上帝、人則不能。約百辨論、未嘗與我爭、我與彼言、亦必不如爾所云。爾曹懵然、莫措一辭。俟之良久、默然無語、不能辨駁。故我欲與之辨、自陳己意。有懷欲吐、中心迫切、如酒在新革囊、氣沖欲裂。我言則氣可舒矣、是必暢所欲言。

如我言不藉爾名、而言斯事、則我中心如焚、爍於骨髓、不復能忍。

予緘默無詞、雖有昌言、不敢啟齒、惟懷憂兮、中心默想、如炙如焚、不禁大放厥詞、
