四分律行事鈔資持記 1.1045

1.1045

三中。對犯不說，此制戒師也。或令悔露，或加治擯，事在臨機。如比丘犯盜，佛不為說。然佛初自說，眾唯純淨；必有妄隱，五百金剛杵碎其頭；後付弟子，則通淨穢；故知必約三根無濫，不可對說也。即下，會同律論。

In the third [part]: not reciting facing an offense—this regulates the precept master. One either has them repent and reveal, or applies punitive expulsion; the matter depends on confronting the circumstances. As when a bhikṣu committed theft, the Buddha did not recite for them. However, when the Buddha initially recited himself, the assembly was purely clean; if anyone falsely concealed [an offense], the five hundred vajra-pestles would shatter their head. Later, when it was entrusted to his disciples, it then applied to both clean and defiled; hence we know that it must rely on the three roots [of suspicion] being free of impropriety, and one must not recite facing [an offense]. From “Namely...” downward, he aligns this with the vinayas and treatises.
