問：前理望事，以理在一為內、在多為外，今此以何為內外？答：亦以一多為內外。但前先舉理，此先舉事，故分二門爾，故但一重問也。以一多皆即理故全遍，非有多理令事各遍。故第四句云非內外也。

Question: Previously, looking from principle toward phenomena, taking principle in the one as "within" and in the many as "without," here what is taken as within and without? Answer: One and many are likewise taken as within and without. It is just that the previous section adduced principle first, whereas this section adduces phenomena first, and thus two gates are distinguished; therefore there is only one layer of questioning. Because one and many are both identical with principle, they completely pervade; it is not that there are manifold principles that cause phenomena each to pervade. Hence the fourth proposition states "neither within nor without."
