〔口上覚の続き〕
「…必ずしも毎度あることでもなく、先例は数多くございます。その上、このようなことは公武（くぶ）より仰せ出されて社家が承知していなければ、供養と申すことは、かつてないことでございます。寛文年中（1661〜1673年）に、神事と法事を相混ぜぬようにすべき旨、仰せ付けられ候故、正月の御棚会（おたなえ）には供僧の役義もございましたが、これを停止いたし候。今度は、御勘略（ごかんりゃく）〔御節約〕にて御神宝・諸役人への下行物（げぎょうもの）万事勘略に仕り候。しかるに神事と法事を相交えて申し候えば、御断りを申し上げないわけにはいかないと存じ奉り候間、まず此の度は、社家一同として舎利供養の儀はこれなく、静鑑（せいかん）に仰せ付けくださいますれば、かたじけなく存じ奉り候。」との仰せ候。以上。
※次第は違い申し候えども、大形（おおかた）はかくのごとくなり。
〔翌朝の対応〕
明朝、清書を両人持参。
二条越前守殿・安芸守殿・丹後守殿および与力・造宮奉行（ぞうぐうぶぎょう）四人へ、遷宮の日時書付の届けに、明日両人が罷り出ること〔が決まった〕。内蔵允保守（くらのじょうやすもり）、雑掌対馬守軌久（ざっしょうつしまのかみのりひさ）が〔その任にあたる〕。
英語訳
[Continuation of the Written Memorandum (Kōjō-oboye):]
"...This is by no means something that occurs on every occasion, and yet there are numerous precedents. Furthermore, in matters such as this, it has been unheard of for a memorial offering ceremony (kuyō) to be conducted without the shrine families (shake) first receiving instructions from the authorities of both the court and the military government (kōbu). During the Kanbun era (1661–1673), an order was issued that ritual Shinto ceremonies (shinji) and Buddhist memorial services (hōji) should not be mixed together. Consequently, although the officiating monks (gusō) had previously held a role in the New Year's Otanaë ceremony, this was discontinued. On this occasion, in the spirit of economization (kanryaku), the divine treasures (go-shimpō) and the stipends (gekyōmono) for all shrine functionaries have been reduced across the board. Under these circumstances, if Shinto rites and Buddhist services were to be intermingled, we feel it would be improper not to bring this to your attention and formally decline. Therefore, we humbly request that, on this occasion, all shrine families be united in declining the Shari-kuyō ceremony, and that we be graciously exempted from holding it. We would be most grateful if this request were granted."
The above was the substance of the statement.
*Note: The precise order of events may differ [from the original], but this is the general gist of what was conveyed.
[Arrangements for the Following Morning:]
The following morning, a fair copy (seisho) of the document was to be delivered by two individuals.
It was decided that two persons would go out the following day to deliver the written notification of the date and time of the relocation ceremony (sengū) to the following recipients: Lord Nijō Echizen-no-kami, Lord Aki-no-kami, Lord Tango-no-kami, and the four Construction Overseers (Zōgū-bugyō) along with their yoriki (subordinate officers). The individuals designated for this task were Kura-no-jō Yasumori and Zasshō Tsushima-no-kami Norihisa.
