《明史·列传·卷一百六十八》
式耜胆大口直地建功立名。所提出的建议大多符合皇上的心意，但是他敢于攻击豪门权臣，大臣们都害怕他的一张嘴巴。
式耜矫矫立名，所建白多当帝意，然搏击权豪，大臣多畏其口。
Shi Si was bold and outspoken and made a name for himself. Most of the suggestions he made were in line with the emperor's wishes, but he dared to attack the powerful and influential ministers, and the ministers were all afraid of his mouth.
