4.87

是皆文也。而無殊乎。夫聖也凡也。凡聖二途不可濫也(孟子曰。大而化之謂之聖。韻義曰。輕微常俗謂之凡。故凡聖二途不可相濫而混同也)。

These are both textiles, yet are they without distinction? Now, sagacity and ordinariness—the two paths of the sage and the ordinary person cannot be conflated (Mencius says: being great and transforming others is called sagacity. The Yunyi says: the slight, trivial, and common vulgarity is called ordinary. Therefore, the two paths of the ordinary and the sage cannot be conflated and mixed together).
