三人流水ニ棹ヲサスカ如クニ法術ヲ傳受シテ
手拭ヲ以テ馬ト見セ塵ヲ虚空ニ投テ鳥トナシ
枯木ニ花ヲ咲セ塊ヲ寶珠トシ虛空ニ坐シ地ニ
隱レ俄ニ黑雲ヲ出シ雨雪ヲ降ス等ノ術得ズト
云ヿナシ此三人ノ外南蠻寺ニテ病氣全快ノ者
共或ハ金銀ヲ與ヘテ商人トシ或ハ帶刀シテ仕
官ノ人トシテ悉ク洛中近國ニ放遣シ南蠻寺廣大
ノ恩惠ヲ云ヒ弘メ諸國難治ノ病人ハ南蠻寺ニ
來テ利益ヲ蒙ルヘシト信長ノ命ナル由南蠻寺
ニテ快復シタル者トモ近國佗國ヘ分散シテ報恩
現代語訳
三人は流水に棹をさすかのように法術を伝授され、手拭いを以て馬と見せ、塵を虚空に投げて鳥となし、枯木に花を咲かせ、土塊を宝珠とし、虚空に座し地に隠れ、俄かに黒雲を出し雨雪を降らす等の術で得られないものはなかった。この三人の外、南蛮寺にて病気が全快した者共を、或いは金銀を与えて商人とし、或いは帯刀させて仕官の人として、悉く洛中近国に放遣し、南蛮寺の広大な恩恵を言い広め、諸国の難治の病人は南蛮寺に来て利益を蒙るべしと、信長の命なる由を、南蛮寺にて快復した者共が近国他国へ分散して報恩の

They could make a hand towel appear as a horse, throw dust into the air and transform it into birds, make flowers bloom on withered trees, turn clods of earth into precious jewels, sit in mid-air, disappear into the ground, suddenly produce black clouds, and cause rain and snow to fall—there was no technique they could not master. Besides these three men, those who had been completely cured of illnesses at the Nanban temple were given gold and silver to become merchants, or allowed to wear swords and become government officials, and were sent forth throughout the capital and neighboring provinces to spread word of the great benevolence of the Nanban temple. They proclaimed that patients with incurable diseases from all provinces should come to the Nanban temple to receive its benefits, claiming this was by Nobunaga's command. Those who had recovered at the Nanban temple dispersed to nearby and distant provinces to repay their gratitude by
