法華義疏 7.154

7.154

「語諸作人」下，第三、明說教，即是趣鹿苑轉四諦法輪也。就文為四：一、誡勸；二、益價；三、安慰；四、稱歎。汝等懃作者勸令精進也。「勿得懈息」者，誡令勿懈怠也。精進成眾德之根，懈怠敗萬行之本，是故命初以誡勸也。

From 'He spoke to the laborers' downward is the third [part], explaining the expounding of the teaching, which is proceeding to the Deer Park to turn the wheel of the Dharma of the four truths. In the text there are four [points]: first, admonishing and encouraging; second, increasing the wages; third, comforting; fourth, praising. 'Work diligently, all of you' encourages them to make vigorous effort. 'Do not be lax or rest' admonishes them not to be indolent. Vigorous effort accomplishes the root of all virtues; indolence ruins the foundation of the myriad practices. Therefore, at the beginning of his injunction he admonishes and encourages.
