抑臣又竊聞之曰:「有上主者,有中主者,有下主者。上主者,可引而上,不可引而下;下主者,可以引而下,不可引而上;中主者,可引而上,可引而下。」故上主者,堯舜是也。夏禹契后稷,與之為善則行;鯀讙兜,欲引而為惡則誅。故可與為善,而不可與為惡。下主者,桀紂是也。推侈惡來,進與為惡則行,比干龍逢,欲引而為善,則誅。故可與為惡,而不可與為善。所謂中主者,齊桓公是也。得管仲隰朋,則九合諸侯;豎貂子牙,則餓死胡宮,蟲流而不得葬。故材性乃上主也,賢人必合,而不肖人必離,國家必治無可憂者也。若材性下主也,邪人必合,賢正必遠,坐而須亡耳,又不可勝憂矣。故其可憂者,唯中主爾。又似練絲,染之藍則青,染之緇則黑。得善佐則存,不得善佐則亡。此其不可不憂者耳。《詩》云:「芃芃棫樸,薪之槱之,濟濟辟王,左右趨之。」此言左右日以善趨也,故臣竊以為練左右急也。
