老母ヲ聖道ニ引導シ參セ候ヘシ迚老母ニ辭シ
テ寺ヘ歸リヌ老母ハ梅庵ニ強ク教化セラレ言
葉ナク漸々法論ノ事ヲ云出シテ梅庵ヲハ歸シ
ケレトモツク〳〵思慮シテ我賤シキ身ヲ以テ歴々
ノ僧家ヲ請待シ如何メシキ宗論ナトノ樣ニ風
說アラハ憚リ有ヘキ事ナリ隨分密ニ隱ストモ聞
傳ル人アツテ羣集等アラハ如何共不可製得殊
更不思議ノ珍事等アラハ修理太夫カ身ノ害ヤ
アラムシカシ唯俗人諸經ニ通達シタル碩學ヲ
尋得テ梅庵ヲ招キ法論ヲキカハヤト思付洛中

Even if I tried to keep it as secret as possible, if there were people who heard about it and crowds gathered, it would be impossible to control. Especially if strange and wondrous events occurred, might it not bring harm to my husband, the Master of Palace Repairs?
