襟巻きなど、甚だ尋常の僧の風体とは異なり、殊に内仏等も尋ねず、必ず新宗南蛮寺の僧であろう」と推測して語った。四、五日を経た後、侍一人が中門に挟箱を持たせ「南蛮寺同宿梅庵の使いの者なり」と案内してきた。伽羅一斤、緞子五巻、縮緬五巻を台に積載し、一宿の礼謝を述べて贈ってきた。母は甚だ驚き、過分の賜物で甚だ困ると、段々と辞退に及んだけれども、使いの者は品物を置いて帰ってしまった。その後も或いは絽、また糸類等、折に触れ時に従い音物として、やむを得ず受け置いた。遥かに時が過ぎた後、雨天の夕暮れ、また堺から帰ると偽り、この老母の宿に

Particularly since he made no inquiry about our household Buddhist altar, he must surely be a monk of the new sect from the Nanban temple," thus she spoke her conjecture. After four or five days had passed, a samurai came to the middle gate carrying a document box and announced, "I am a messenger from Baian, who stays at the Nanban temple." He had loaded on a stand one kin of aloes wood, five rolls of damask, and five rolls of crepe, and presented them as thanks for one night's lodging.

Thereafter, whether silk gauze or thread goods and such, he would send gifts according to the season and occasion, which she had no choice but to accept. Much time passed, and then one rainy evening, again falsely claiming to be returning from Sakai, [he came] to this old mother's lodging
