尚同下 - Identification with the Superior III

English translation: W. P. Mei [?] Library Resources
7 尚同下:
天下既已治,天子又總天下之義,以尚同於天。故當尚同之為說也,尚用之天子,可以治天下矣;中用之諸侯,可而治其國矣;小用之家君,可用而治其家矣。是故大用之,治天下不窕,小用之,治一國一家而不橫者,若道之謂也。」
Identification with the Superior...:
Now that the empire becomes orderly, the emperor will further organize the purposes in the empire and identify them with the Will of Heaven. Therefore Identification with the Superior as a principle can govern the empire when used by the emperor, it can govern the state when used by the feudal lord, and it can govern the clan when used by the clan patriarch. To be found not wanting when used on a large scale to govern the empire, and not useless when employed on a small scale to govern a clan - this is said of such a principle.
