《明史·列传·卷一百六十五》
金声于是屡次上书请求弃官回乡去了。后来大学士徐光启推荐金声和自己一起撰写历书，他推辞不受。
后大学士徐光启荐声同修历书，辞不就。
As a result, Jinsheng repeatedly submitted memorials begging leave to give up his official duties and return to his hometown. Later, Grand Secretary Xu Guangqi recommended Jinsheng to work with him on compiling the calendar, but he declined the offer.
