法華論疏 1.324

1.324

此但取後所可說法初中後善，不取前文也。以二萬佛說法門具七善，故云所可說法初中後善，所以一處合釋之也。

This only takes the latter part, "that which was preached was good in the beginning, middle, and end," and does not take the preceding text. Because the Dharma gates preached by the twenty thousand buddhas possessed the seven excellences, it therefore says "that which was preached was good in the beginning, middle, and end"; for this reason, they are combined and explained in one place.
