四分律比丘含注戒本 1.244

1.244

應語彼言：「可捨此事，莫令僧作訶諫而犯重罪。」若用語者，善。若不用語，復令餘比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，若王，若大臣，種種異道沙門、婆羅門求；若餘方比丘，聞知其人信用語者，應求諫之。是屏諫也。

They should say to him: "You should abandon this matter; do not cause the Saṃgha to perform a formal admonition and incur a grave offense." If he heeds the words, it is well. If he does not heed the words, they should further ask other bhikṣuṇīs, upāsakas, upāsikās, or kings, or ministers, or various śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas of outside paths to seek him out; or if there are bhikṣus from other regions whose words he is known to trust and follow, they should be asked to admonish him. This is admonishing in private.
