7."Vì tất cả những người đàn ông có bốn nguyên tắc trong bản thân mình, để cho họ biết để cung cấp cho họ tất cả các phát triển và hoàn thiện, và vấn đề sẽ được như lửa đã bắt đầu để ghi, hoặc của một mùa xuân đã bắt đầu tìm lỗ thông hơi. Hãy để họ có sự phát triển hoàn toàn của họ, và họ sẽ đủ để yêu thương và bảo vệ tất cả trong vòng bốn biển. | 7.
