第二輕重相對有四。一心重財輕。如貧女將一錢施大眾得福弘多。二財重心輕如王夫人。心慢多將寶物。施眾得福尠少(下二可知)。

Second, the contrast between light and heavy has four [cases]: 1. The mind is heavy, but the material gift is light: for example, a poor woman offering a single coin to the monastic assembly obtains vastly great merit. 2. The material gift is heavy, but the mind is light: for example, a king's consort whose mind is arrogant, though she presents many precious things to the assembly, obtains scanty merit. (The latter two can be understood from this.)
