者も粗食・欠略はもちろんのことであるが、その程度を過ごさぬよう、村役人は厚く心得ており、時々見聞して心を付けるべきこと
ただし、場所により一日五度も食事をする趣き、春分は農事がゆるやかであるから一食位は相減ずるのが然るべきであるが、農事繁多の時節に至れば、有来の通り心得るべきこと

Now that the spring equinox has passed and we are in the midst of agricultural work, the amount of food depends on one's natural constitution - strong or weak - and the degree of physical labor involved, as there are natural individual differences. However, if there should be cases where servants resent their master's careful management as stinginess and not only eat greedily out of spite but also neglect their household duties, or where masters scold their servants for laziness and poor work and impose reduced meals under the guise of frugality - such misunderstandings would be most inappropriate. Therefore, masters should prioritize compassion, servants should not forget their proper station, and through mutual good understanding and cooperation, not wasting even the briefest moment of the day on eating and drinking complaints, each person should encourage diligent work.
