四分律比丘含注戒本 1.31

1.31

佛言：「同羯磨者集在一處，乃至應訶者不訶，是名如法。若眾大聲小，敷妙高座，立上而說。八難、餘緣，隨時略說。若客舊外集，數有少多，說過此序，告淨便聽。」餘廣如《律》。

The Buddha said: 'Those sharing the same karman gather together in one place, down to those who ought to protest not protesting; this is called being in accordance with the Dharma. If the assembly is large and the voice is small, spread a wonderful high seat, and stand on it to recite. For the eight perils and other contingencies, recite in abridged form according to the occasion. If visiting or resident monks assemble from outside, whether their number is few or many, when the recitation has passed this preface, declare purity and then listen.' The rest is as explained at length in the Vinaya.
