6.143

答：義例可有三句。一者約昔教，城車俱有。昔說有三車，亦說有一城。二者據今教，城車俱無。三者無車有城。欲明實故無三車，亦權有故有化城也。俱有示兩權，俱無據兩實，一有一無即一權一實也。

Answer: In terms of the pattern of principles, there may be three propositions. First, regarding the past teaching, both the city and the carriages existed: in the past it was said that there were three carriages, and it was also said that there was one city. Second, based on the present teaching, neither the city nor the carriages exist. Third, there were no carriages, but there was a city. Because he wished to make clear the real, there were no three carriages; also, because of provisional existence, there was the conjured city. Both existing demonstrates the two provisionals; both being absent is based on the two reals; one existing and one being absent is precisely one provisional and one real.
