Original text

德洪曰：「昔南元善刻《博习录》于越，凡二册。下册摘录先师手书，凡八篇。其《答徐成之》二书，吾师自谓：『天下是朱非陆，论定既久，一旦反之为难。二书姑为调停两可之说，使人自思得之。』故元善录为下册之首者，意亦以是欤？今朱、陆之辨明于天下久矣，洪刻先师《文录》，置二书于《外集》者，示未全也，故今不复录。其余指『知、行之本体』，莫详于《答人论学》与答周道通、陆清伯、欧阳崇一四书；而谓『格物为学者用力日可见之地』，莫详于《答罗整庵》一书。平生冒天下之非诋推陷，万死一生，遑遑然不忘讲学，惟恐吾人不闻斯道，流于功利机智，以日堕于夷狄禽兽而不觉；其一体同物之心，𫍢𫍢终身，至于毙而后已。此孔、孟以来贤圣苦心，虽门人子弟，未足以慰其情也；是情也，莫详于《答聂文蔚》之第一书。此皆仍元善所录之旧。而揭『必有事焉』即『致良知』功夫，明白简切，使人言下即得入手，此又莫详于答文蔚之第二书，故增录之。元善当时汹汹，乃能以身明斯道，卒至遭奸被斥，油油然惟以此生得闻斯学为庆，而绝无有纤芥愤郁不平之气。斯录之刻，人见其有功于同志甚大，而不知其处时之甚艰也。今所去取，裁之时义则然，非忍有所加损于其间也。」
