サセントスル是甚タ怪キ宗門ニテ候迚老母ニ
會釋シテ歸リヌ然ルニ中井修理太夫秀吉公ノ
暇ヲ得テ宿所ニ歸リテ母ニ對面シ南蠻寺ノ梅
庵カ始終ノ樣子ヲ具ニ承リ如何樣用アリケニ
聞請ケレハ秀吉公ヘ參リ其始末委細ニ是ヲ言
上ス秀吉前後ノ洒落ヲ尋問アツテ俊發頓知ノ
良將ナレハ忽ニ了察シテ曰ク信長ハ開宗弘法
ノ大檀越ナリシニ不慮ノ殃死アリ今我天下ノ
權柄ヲ得タレハ渠弘法スルトモ予思慮ヲ恐レ我
ニ親ミ近付ンヿヲ欲シ汝カ我ニ昵懇スルヿヲ

When asked what purpose this served, he went to Lord Hideyoshi and reported the whole matter in detail. Hideyoshi inquired about the witticisms from beginning to end, and being a capable general of quick wit and instant understanding, he immediately comprehended and said: "Nobunaga was a great patron of the founding and propagation of their religion, but he met with an unexpected calamitous death.
