節目時變之不可預定，猶方圓、長短之不可勝窮也。故規矩誠立，則不可欺以方圓，而天下之方圓不可勝用矣；尺度誠陳，則不可欺以長短，而天下之長短不可勝用矣；良知誠致，則不可欺以節目時變，而天下之節目時變不可勝應矣。毫釐千里之謬，不於吾心良知一念之微而察之，亦將何所用其學乎？是不以規矩而欲定天下之方圓，不以尺度而欲盡天下之長短，吾見其乖張謬戾，日勞而無成也已。 吾子謂：「語孝於溫凊定省，孰不知之？」然而能致其知者鮮矣。若謂粗知溫凊定省之儀節，而遂謂之能致其知，則凡知君之當仁者，皆可謂之能致其仁之知，知臣之當忠者，皆可謂之能致其忠之知，則天下孰非致知者邪？以是而言，可以知致知之必在於行，而不行之不可以為致知也明矣。知、行合一之體，不益較然矣乎？ 夫舜之不告而娶，豈舜之前已有不告而娶者為之準則，故舜得以考之何典，問諸何人，而為此邪？抑亦求諸其心一念之真知，權輕重之宜，不得已而為此邪？

門人有言邵端峰論童子不能格物，只教以灑掃、應對之說。 先生曰：「灑掃、應對就是一件物。童子良知只到此，便教去灑掃、應對，就是致他這一點良知了。又如童子知畏先生、長者，此亦是他良知處。故雖嬉戲中，見了先生、長者，便去作揖恭敬，是他能格物以致敬師長之良知了。童子自有童子的格物致知。」 又曰：「我這裏言格物，自童子以至聖人，皆是此等工夫；但聖人格物，便更熟得些子，不消費力。如此格物，雖賣柴人亦是做得；雖公卿大夫以至天子，皆是如此做。」

甲戌，浿江道大總管任雅相薨於軍。雅相為將，未嘗奏親戚故吏從軍，皆移所司補授，謂人曰：「官無大小，皆國家公器，豈可苟便其私！」由是軍中賞罰皆平，人服其公。

卷200·高宗天皇大聖大弘孝皇帝上之下龍朔二年（壬戌，公元六六二年）·第2则

This silly affair, however, greatly increased his rancour against me, which was before not a little, on account of my conduct in the Assembly respecting the exemption of his estate from taxation, which I had always oppos'd very warmly, and not without severe reflections on his meanness and injustice of contending for it. He accused me to the ministry as being the great obstacle to the king's service, preventing, by my influence in the House, the proper form of the bills for raising money, and he instanced this parade with my officers as a proof of my having an intention to take the government of the province out of his hands by force. He also applied to Sir Everard Fawkener, the postmaster-general, to deprive me of my office; but it had no other effect than to procure from Sir Everard a gentle admonition.
