「若法性空」下，第四空不空門破。成壞性空有四種，八不中已說。一定性之空，即是邪見空名為性空；二破性說空名為性空；三性有本空名為性空；四諸法因緣本性是空。此之四種悉皆是空，空中則無物成壞，不空是常亦無成壞。又此性是體性之性，若有自體則不假緣，則名為常，常無成壞。若無自體則無物，何所成壞？

From "If phenomena are empty of intrinsic nature" onward is the fourth refutation, the gate of empty and non-empty. Emptiness of intrinsic nature in coming-to-be and dissolution has four kinds, which were already explained under the eight negations: first, the emptiness of a fixed nature, which is the emptiness of wrong views, called emptiness of intrinsic nature; second, the emptiness taught to refute intrinsic nature, called emptiness of intrinsic nature; third, the original emptiness of having an intrinsic nature, called emptiness of intrinsic nature; fourth, that the original nature of the causes and conditions of all phenomena is empty. All four of these kinds are empty; within emptiness there is no coming-to-be or dissolution of things; and non-empty is permanent, so it also lacks coming-to-be and dissolution. Furthermore, this "nature" is the nature of an entity's own substance: if it has a self-entity, it does not rely on conditions, and is thus called permanent, and what is permanent has no coming-to-be or dissolution. If it lacks a self-entity, then there are no things; what then could come to be or dissolve?
