法華玄義釋籤 3.56

3.56

二定妙法先後，中四：初標，次「若從義」下辨先後，三「從今題」下正明今意，四「雖復」下融通二途。初如文。次文者，從義從名各有其致。從義中先立，次引證。從名中亦先立，次引事。事中二：先證從名，次「篤論」下復順從義。言「篤」者，《爾雅》云：「固也。」《老子》云：「守靜曰篤」，「篤」貞正也。

Second, determining the sequence of "subtle" and "dharma" has four [parts]: first, it indicates; next, beginning with "If according to meaning," it distinguishes the sequence; third, beginning with "From the present title," it directly clarifies the present intent; fourth, beginning with "Although again," it harmonizes the two paths. The first is as in the text. As for the next passage: following the meaning and following the name each have their rationale. In following the meaning: first it establishes, and next cites proof. In following the name: it also first establishes, and next cites events. In the events there are two: first, it proves following the name; next, beginning with "solidly considered," it again accords with following the meaning. Regarding "solid" (*du*): the *Erya* says, "It means firm." *Laozi* says, "Guarding stillness is called solid"; "solid" means upright and correct.
