1.27

一教門事要。異同訛正略加考定。據諸傳記摭集。不以私臆謬加論辨。或恐繁失於冗簡失於陋。以俟博雅之士。改而正之。

1. Key matters of the religious teachings have their differences, agreements, errors, and corrections briefly examined and verified. Gathered based on various biographies and records, they are not debated arbitrarily out of private conjecture. For fear that over-elaboration leads to redundancy or brevity leads to shallowness, we await broadly learned gentlemen to amend and correct them.
