祖先以来御委任厚く御依頼されておりますが、方今宇内の形勢を考察し、建白の趣旨もっともと思召され候間、天下と共に同心して尽力し、異国を推持して安んじ奉るべし。
震禁御沙汰の事
右の事件、外国一条については衆議を尽くし、その他諸大名への伺い・仰せ出し等を朝廷において両役で取り扱い、その余の義については、左の諸侯が上京の上で御決定があるべし。それまでの所、支配・市中取締等はこれまでの通りにて、追って御沙汰のこと。

今般の上意の際は、宇内の形勢を御洞察遊ばされた所、外国通交の道が盛んに開かれるに至り、御政権が二途になっては皇国の御綱紀が立ち難く候につき、永く治安を計られ候御遠大の御心慮より仰せ出され候御儀にて、誠に以て感佩し奉り候。殊に従前の御過失を一身に御引受け、御薄徳を表され、御政権を朝廷へ御帰し遊ばされ候御
英語訳
October
Although our ancestors have been entrusted with heavy responsibilities and great reliance has been placed upon us, considering the current situation throughout the realm, the purpose of this memorial is deemed most reasonable. Therefore, we shall work together with all under Heaven in unity and devotion to support foreign nations and ensure peace.
Imperial edict matter
Regarding the above matter, concerning foreign affairs, all opinions shall be exhausted, and other matters such as consultations with and proclamations to the various daimyo shall be handled by both offices at the Imperial Court. For other matters, decisions shall be made after the lords of the left come to Kyoto. Until then, territorial governance and urban policing shall continue as before, with further imperial edicts to follow.

Copy of oral instructions
On the occasion of this recent imperial will, His Majesty has thoroughly observed the situation throughout the realm and [seen that] the path of foreign intercourse has come to flourish greatly. Since having governmental authority divided into two channels would make it difficult to maintain the imperial order of our nation, this proclamation stems from His Majesty's far-sighted consideration to ensure lasting peace and stability. We are truly filled with reverence and gratitude. Particularly, [His Majesty] has taken upon himself all previous failures, acknowledged his own lack of virtue, and returned governmental authority to the Imperial Court.
