《明史·列传·卷一百六十二》
那些在北方逃避战乱，犹豫多时而后才到朝廷来的，允许他们戴罪入官，讨伐敌人，这些人可以到我领的军队里酌情录用。 
其逃避北方、俳徊而后至者，许戴罪讨贼，赴臣军前酌用。 
Those who fled the chaos of the north and took quite a long time to come to the court, allow them to serve with their crimes, fight the enemy. These people can be assigned to my troops as appropriate.
