同左衛門督義景の時代には社領も多く、社家も数百人いたとのことでございます。義景が没落して以降、段々と衰微し、旧跡ばかりが残るような状態になっていたと承り伝えております。その後、先祖・中納言秀康が越前国を拝領して入部されて以降、少しばかりの山林などを寄附されるよう申し付けられたとのことです。その後、同氏（松平氏）の兵部大輔の時分に、右の社が次第に大破に及んだため、社を建立し、少々の扶持などを申し付けました。しかしながら神主が職を続けることが難しい状態でございましたので、当・伊予守（忠昌）が社領五十石を申し付けました。なお別当はおらず、神主は吉田宮内少副と申す者でございます。この他の事はこちら（江戸）では分かりかねますので、在所（越前）へ申し遣わして吟味の上、追って申し上げます。右の趣について、相違のほどは計り難く
存じますが、承り伝えた通りを先ずは各様まで御物語申し上げました。以上。

During the time of Saemon-no-kami Yoshikage [Asakura Yoshikage], the shrine's landholdings were extensive and several hundred shrine households existed there. After Yoshikage's downfall, [the shrine] gradually fell into decline, and we have heard it was left in a state where only the old ruins remained. Thereafter, when our ancestor, the Middle Counselor [Matsudaira] Hideyasu, received the province of Echizen and entered it, he is said to have arranged for a modest grant of woodland and the like to be donated to the shrine. Subsequently, during the tenure of the same clan's [Matsudaira] Hyōbu-no-tayū [Tadamasa], the said shrine fell increasingly into serious disrepair, whereupon the shrine was rebuilt and a small stipend was allocated. However, since it proved difficult for the head priest (kannagi) to sustain the role, the current Iyo-no-kami [Tadamasa/Yoshinori] allocated a shrine estate (sharyo) of fifty koku. It should be noted that there is no bettō [administrative monk-official], and the head priest is a person called Yoshida Kunai-no-shōfu. Anything beyond this is not known from here [in Edo], so we shall send word to the home domain [Echizen], conduct an inquiry, and report back in due course. As for the accuracy of the above account, it is difficult to guarantee its complete reliability;
however, we have related to you, gentlemen, what has been passed down to us by tradition. Respectfully submitted.
Matsudaira Iyo-no-kami

Item: On the fifth day of the same month, a messenger was sent to present, as customary, the domain's specialty product of the season's first mackerel (hatsusaba).
Item: On a day of the same month (date unknown), in the presence of the Senior Councilors (Rōjū), a written instruction issued by Lord Mizuno Izumi-no-kami (Tadayuki) to the officials in charge of lectures was forwarded to the home domain (Echizen) by His Lordship's direction, and the following was proclaimed:
