証文の事
一、この度花嶽院殿・久岳院殿・景永院殿・冷光院殿の墓料として、浅野内匠頭殿の御家中より銀子十三貫八百一匁の寄附がありましたので、この銀子をもって田地五反一畝六歩を購入いたしました。田地証文七通並びに添証文一通ともに受け取り置き申し候。この田地の件につきましては、証文の通り代々後住へ引き渡し申すべく候。寺の要用の件につき、田地を少しでも売り払い申すべからず候。もっとも隠居のためといえども、弟子・兄弟・俗縁の者へ分け与える儀、永々まで決して仕るべからず候。よって件の如し。

Item 1: On this occasion, silver totaling 13 kan 801 monme has been donated by the household retainers of Lord Asano Takumi-no-kami as funds for the graves of Lord Kagaku-in, Lord Kyūgaku-in, Lord Kageei-in, and Lord Reikō-in. With this silver, we have purchased rice fields measuring 5 tan 1 se 6 bu. We have received and hold seven field certificates along with one supplementary certificate. Regarding these fields, they shall be passed down to successive head priests according to the certificates. For matters concerning temple needs, not even a small portion of these fields shall be sold. Moreover, even for retirement purposes, these [fields] shall never be distributed to disciples, brothers, or lay relatives in perpetuity. Therefore, [we certify] as stated above.
