1 “If, during the Imjin War, a minor township official with the surname Choe had assumed the mandate of quashing the war, his labor would not have exceeded three days.

지난 임진왜란에 정란(靖亂)의 책임을 ‘최 풍헌(崔風憲)이 맡았으면 사흘 일에 지나지 못하고

2 If Jin-muk had assumed the mandate, three months would not have passed.

진묵(震默)이 맡았으면 석 달을 넘기지 않고

3 If Song Gu-bong had assumed the mandate, he would have ended the war within eight months.

송구봉(宋龜峯)이 맡았으면 여덟 달 만에 끌렀으리라.’ 하니

4 This illustrates how the dharmas and methods differ among the dao of Immortalism, the dao of Buddhism, and the dao of Confucianism.

이는 선도와 불도와 유도의 법술(法術)이 서로 다름을 이름이라.

5 “Previously, the world was so small and the work was so simple that any upheaval could be easily surmounted by a single dharma and method,

옛적에는 판이 작고 일이 간단하여 한 가지만 따로 쓸지라도 능히 난국을 바로잡을 수 있었으나

6 but the world has now grown so vast and the work so complex that its present turmoil cannot be surmounted without combining and wielding all dharmas and methods.”

이제는 판이 넓고 일이 복잡하므로 모든 법을 합하여 쓰지 않고는 능히 혼란을 바로잡지 못하느니라.
