there're no punctuations in classical chinese. one must learn to chop the verse since childhood, before about 1911. such ability is called 句讀

briefly, people used pattern, particles and pronunciation to help to chop the verse, the provided text would be:

易之言曰．敬以直內．義以方外
誥之言曰．以義制事．以禮制心
故曰先聖後聖．其揆一也．今夫事興．人之相接也．不接於吾之耳目口體者．不可謂事也．何也
不接於吾之耳目口體．天下非無事也．而非吾之所得制．非吾之所得制．則大台內外．固有不論不諉者矣．則固非吾事矣．不發而之於視聽言動者．不可謂必也．何也
不發而之於視聽言動．吾亦非無必也．而無所施其制．無所制．則人生以上固有 . . .
