Full text (1-4): 六經彪炳,而緯候稠疊;《孝》、《論》昭晰,而《鉤》、《讖》葳蕤。按經驗緯,其偽有四︰蓋緯之成經,其猶織綜,絲麻不雜,布帛乃成。今經正緯奇,倍摘千里,其偽一矣。經顯,聖訓也;緯隱,神教也。聖訓宜廣,神教宜約,而今緯多於經,神理更繁,其偽二矣。有命自天,乃稱符讖,而八十一篇皆托於孔子,則是堯造綠圖,昌制丹書 也。商周以前,圖菉頻見,春秋之末,群經方備,先緯後經,體乖織綜。 Scroll 1: 六經彪炳,而緯候稠疊;《孝》、《論》昭晰,而《鉤》、《讖》葳蕤。按經驗緯,其偽有四︰蓋緯之成經,其猶織綜,絲 Scroll 2: 麻不雜,布帛乃成。今經正緯奇,倍摘千里,其偽一矣。經顯,聖訓也;緯隱,神教也。聖訓宜廣,神教宜約,而今 Scroll 3: 緯多於經,神理更繁,其偽二矣。有命自天,乃稱符讖,而八十一篇皆托於孔子,則是堯造綠圖,昌制丹書 Scroll 4: 也。商周以前,圖菉頻見,春秋之末,群經方備,先緯後經,體乖織綜。
