仕上御受書の覚
左に書く通り、この度幕府より御触れ出された趣を御目付中より達しがあったので、触れ渡す義につき、そちら共の組村浦一人一人漏れのないよう一人一人触れ達し、組切受書を取り纏めて差し出すこと。この触書は遅滞なく順達させ、済み村より指し戻すこと。以上

大目付へ
櫛笄かんざし煙管または煙草入れ紙入れ金物、その外無益なる類の品に金銀を用いる義は停止の旨、前々より触れ渡した趣もあったところ、近来みだりに金銀具を相用い並びに商売をする者もある由相聞き、如何なことである。以来百姓町人が右体の品に金銀を用いる義は決して相成らぬ。主人或いは出入り屋敷等より貰い受け、または持ち伝えなどであっても、金銀器類一切持ち申すまじ。
右につきましては、武家要用の品はこれまでの通り、その外も武家より

This proclamation document should be circulated without delay, and returned from the final village. The above.
2nd month, 20th day
To the Chief Inspector
Regarding combs, hairpins, hair ornaments, pipes, tobacco pouches, paper cases, metal objects, and other such useless items, the use of gold and silver for such things has been prohibited as proclaimed previously. However, recently it has been heard that there are those who indiscriminately use gold and silver fittings and engage in commerce with them, which is most improper. Henceforth, it is absolutely forbidden for farmers and townspeople to use gold and silver for such items. Even if received as gifts from masters or patron houses, or inherited, no gold or silver objects whatsoever should be possessed.
Regarding this matter, items necessary for samurai use shall continue as before, and other items from samurai houses
