内在下之隂也方蹇之时隂柔不能自立故皆附于九三之阳而喜爱之九之处三在蹇为得其所也处蹇而得下之心可以求安故以来为反犹春秋之言归也
六四往蹇来连 往则益入于坎险之深往蹇也居蹇难之时同处艰兄者其志不谋而同也又四居上位而与在下者同有得位之正又与三相比相亲者也二与初同类相与者也是与下同志众所从附也故曰来连来则与在下之众相连合也能与众合得处蹇之道也
象曰往蹇来连当位实也 四当蹇之时居上位不往而来与下同志固足以得众矣又以隂居隂为得其实以诚实与下故能连合而下之二三亦各得其实初以隂居下亦其实也当同患之时相交以实其合可知故来而连者当位以实也处蹇难非诚实何以济当位不曰正而曰实上下之交主于诚实用各有其所也
九五大蹇朋来 五居君位而在蹇难之中是天下之大蹇也当蹇而又在险中亦为大蹇大蹇之时而二在下以中正相应是其朋助之来也方天下之蹇而得中正之臣相辅其助岂小也得朋来而无吉何也曰未足以济蹇也以刚阳中正之君而方在大蹇之中非得刚阳中正之臣相辅之不能济天下之蹇也二之中正固有助矣欲以隂柔之助济天下之难非所能也自古圣王济天下之蹇未有不由贤圣之臣为之助者汤武得伊吕是也中常之君得刚明之臣而能济大难者则有矣刘禅之孔明唐肃宗之郭子仪德宗之李晟是也虽贤明之君苟无其臣则不能济于难也故凡六居五九居二者则多由助而有功蒙泰之类是也九居五六居二则功多不足屯否之类是也盖臣贤于君则辅君以君所不能臣不及君则赞助之而已故不能成大功也
象曰大蹇朋来以中节也 朋者其朋类也五有中正之德而二亦中正虽大蹇之时不失其守蹇于蹇以相应助是以其中正之节也上下中正而弗济者臣之才不足也自古守节秉义而才不足以济者岂少乎汉李固王允晋周𫖮王导之徒是也
