四明十義書 1.9

1.9

又昨蒙五義見徵，既即時取趣，今約十門定難。無託故以寢言，休勞多部檢文、逾年作計。便請直誠吐義，隨解速酬。幸甚幸甚（上人前後義狀皆經二年，若義久明，終不稽遲至此。蓋遍尋教部、旋構見知，數乖自宗、全傷妙道。願思來報，無縱諂心也）。

Moreover, yesterday I received your challenge raising five points, and since I immediately grasped your purport, I now establish challenges along ten headings. Do not make excuses to remain silent, and do not exhaust yourself consulting many volumes and scheming for over a year. Please directly and sincerely express the meaning, promptly replying according to your understanding. That would be fortunate indeed! (The Venerable's previous submissions of arguments all took two years. If the meaning had long been clear, it would never have been delayed like this. It is because you searched throughout the teachings and fabricated opinions on the fly that you repeatedly deviated from your own school and completely harmed the wondrous path. I hope you will reflect on your future retribution and not indulge a flattering mind.)
