賢良曰：「古者，政有德，則陰陽調，星辰理，風雨時。故行修於內，聲聞於外，為善於下，福應於天。周公載紀而天下太平，國無夭傷，歲無荒年。當此之時，而不破塊，風不鳴條，旬而一雨，而必以夜。無丘陵高下皆熟。詩曰：『有渰萋萋，興雨祁祁。』今不省其所以然，而曰『陰陽之運也』，非所聞也。孟子曰：『野有餓殍，不知收也；狗豕食人食，不知檢也；為民父母，民饑而死，則曰，非我也，歲也，何異乎以刃殺之，則曰，非我也，兵也？』方今之務，在除饑寒之患，罷鹽、鐵，退權利，分土地，趣本業，養桑麻，盡地力也。寡功節用，則民自富。如是，則水旱不能憂，凶年不能累也。」

先生問九川：「於『致知』之說體驗如何？」 九川曰：「自覺不同。往時操持常不得個恰好處，此乃是恰好處。」 先生曰：「可知是體來與聽講不同。我初與講時，知爾只是忽易，未有滋味。只這個要妙再體到深處，日見不同，是無窮盡的。」又曰：「此『致知』二字，真是個千古聖傳之秘，見到這裏，『百世以俟聖人而不惑』。」

大夫曰：「瞽師不知白黑而善聞言，儒者不知治世而善訾議。夫善言天者合之人，善言古者考之今。令何為施？法何為加？湯、武全肌骨而殷、周治，秦國用之，法弊而犯。二尺四寸之律，古今一也，或以治，或以亂。春秋原罪，甫刑制獄。今願聞治亂之本，周、秦所以然乎？」

曰：民知義矣，而未知禮，然後飾八經以導之禮。所謂八經者何？曰：上下有義，貴賤有分，長幼有等，貧富有度。凡此八者，禮之經也。故上下無義則亂，貴賤無分則爭，長幼無等則倍，貧富無度則失。上下亂，貴賤爭，長幼倍，貧富失，而國不亂者，未之嘗聞也。是故聖王飭此八禮，以導其民。八者各得其義，則爲人君者中正而無私，爲人臣者忠信而不黨，爲人父者慈惠以教，爲人子者孝悌以肅，爲人兄者寬裕以誨，爲人弟者比順以敬，爲人夫者敦懞以固，爲人妻者勸勉以貞。夫然，則下不倍上，臣不殺君，賤不踰貴，少不陵長，遠不閒親，新不閒舊，小不加大，淫不破義。凡此八者，禮之經也。夫人必知禮然後恭敬，恭敬然後尊讓，尊讓然後少長貴賤不相踰越，少長貴賤不相踰越，故亂不生而患不作。故曰：禮不可不謹也。

第10篇五輔·第4则

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

In 1751, Dr. Thomas Bond, a particular friend of mine, conceived the idea of establishing a hospital in Philadelphia (a very beneficent design, which has been ascrib'd to me, but was originally his), for the reception and cure of poor sick persons, whether inhabitants of the province or strangers. He was zealous and active in endeavouring to procure subscriptions for it, but the proposal being a novelty in America, and at first not well understood, he met but with small success.
