法華義疏 2.146

2.146

三者、離合四句，長行合而偈離，長行離而偈合，長行與偈俱合俱離也。四者、前後四句，長行明義在前，偈明之在後；長行明義在後，而偈辨之在前；長行與偈俱前俱後也。五者、質文四句，長行質而偈文，長行文而偈質，俱文俱質，欲以文質相間使聽者心悅也。後五例者乃是易奪言辭轉勢說法也。用前十體及後五例貫通眾部，非直《法華》也。

Third, the four propositions of combined and separate: the prose combines while the verse separates; the prose separates while the verse combines; the prose and verse both combine or both separate. Fourth, the four propositions of earlier and later: the prose clarifies the meaning beforehand and the verse clarifies it afterward; the prose clarifies the meaning afterward and the verse discerns it beforehand; the prose and verse both clarify it beforehand or both afterward. Fifth, the four propositions of unadorned and ornate: the prose is unadorned while the verse is ornate; the prose is ornate while the verse is unadorned; both ornate or both unadorned, wishing to alternate between unadorned and ornate to delight the minds of listeners. These latter five patterns are ways of varying and altering phrasing to turn the momentum of preaching the Dharma. Applying the previous ten forms and subsequent five patterns penetrates through all divisions [of scripture], not just the Lotus Sūtra.
