法華文句記 5.132

5.132

據佛酬云若但讚佛乘等，今欲至始終得度者，若不先小則大小俱失，若先用小則終必大益。

Based on the Buddha's reply saying, "If I were merely to praise the Buddha vehicle..." and so on, now wishing that from beginning to end they attain deliverance: if he did not prioritize the small, both the great and the small would be lost; if he first employs the small, in the end there will definitely be great benefit.
