《晋书·志·第二十章》
刑书取证于文，取证于文一定会与情理的断决有乖违，而上面安于委曲变通，因而主持公道的人因有文例可引，造就会生出两种意见。
刑书征文，征文必有乖于情听之断，而上安于曲当，故执平者因文可引，则生二端。
The criminal code establishes proof based on the text, and establishing proof based on the text is bound to run counter to the determination of fact and reason, and the authorities above are satisfied with compromises, and thus the person mediating justice, with the support of established precedents, will end up creating two trains of thought.
