現代語訳
一、五月二十一日、御帰国御礼の御使者・狛杢（実勝）が江戸に着き、御用番・本多中務大輔（忠良）殿へ罷り出て御書を差し出したところ、水戸・泰受院様が御卒去になったため、二十三日までは万事御差し控えのはずである旨、用人より申し聞かされたので、御書を持参のまま罷り帰った。
一、同月二十三日、結城・安穏寺へ秀康様より下し置かれた寺領の御黒印について、安穏寺より「権現様の御黒印である」と申し立てがあったため、御在府の内に御朱印の御改めを行うよう、秋元摂津守（涼朝）殿・本多紀伊守（正珍）殿へ御使者として御留守居・大谷一右衛門（良次）を以て、右の御黒印の御吟味をお願い申し入れておいたところ、今日右の御黒印の御改めがある旨、申し来たったので、左の通り御黒印の写し並びに御印鑑の寸法を御両所へ同人が持参し差し出したところ、御吟味の上、明二十四日に右の御印鑑を差し出すよう申し聞かされた。
宛行寺領分之事
高五十三石は 結城本郷内
右の分、相違なく領地を令致すべきものなり。よって件の如し。
文禄五（丙申）年
正月二十日 ■（結城中納言殿黒印、大きさ大法、この通りに御座候。二重福の内に■■有之候。尤も御吟味の節は印鑑差し出し申すべく候。）
安穏寺
英語訳
Item: On the twenty-first day of the fifth month, the messenger for the return-to-domain ceremony, Komamoku (Saneyoshi/Jitsukatsu), arrived in Edo and appeared before the Duty Councillor Honda Nakatsukasa-no-taifu (Tadayoshi) to present the formal letter. However, he was informed by the councillor's attendant (yōnin) that, due to the passing of the Lord of Mito, Taijuin-sama, all [ceremonial] matters were to be suspended until the twenty-third day. He therefore returned home with the letter still in his possession.
Item: On the twenty-third day of the same month, regarding the domain grant (寺領, temple land) that had been bestowed upon Anon-ji Temple in Yūki by Hideyasu-sama, the temple had submitted a claim that the black seal (黒印, kokuin) [on the document] was that of Gongen-sama [i.e., Tokugawa Ieyasu]. Accordingly, while still in residence in Edo, a messenger — the domain's resident representative (rusui) Ōtani Ichiemon (Yoshitsugu) — had previously been dispatched to Akimoto Settsu-no-kami (Suzutomo/Ryōchō) and Honda Kii-no-kami (Masayoshi) to request that the black seal be examined and verified. Word now came that the examination of the black seal would take place this day. Accordingly, a copy of the black seal along with its seal dimensions (印鑑) were brought and presented to both officials by the same messenger. After their examination, he was informed that the seal specimen (印鑑) should be submitted on the following day, the twenty-fourth.
Regarding the grant of temple landholdings:
Fifty-three koku, located within Yūki Hongō
The above amount is hereby granted as domain without any discrepancy. Thus it is as stated.
Bunroku 5 (Hinoto-Saru / 1596),
Twentieth day of the first month
■ [Black seal] (The black seal of the Lord of Yūki Chūnagon; the size is that of the daihō standard; it is as shown here. Within the double-bordered "fuku" [福, fortune] design, there is ■■. When the examination takes place, the seal specimen shall be submitted.)
