七家一同ニ罷成往来田之儀供僧猶子之儀
等何ケニ付違乱申掛ケ近年被仰出候代官役

現代語訳
七家が一同となり、往来田の儀・供僧猶子の儀など、何かにつけて違乱を申し掛け、近年仰せ出された代官役・神事勤方・官位などの儀まで、色々と申し立て、改められた事柄についても一社を騒動させています。畢竟、社司の内でも、新宮社の祢宜・祝以下は、社法のとおり次第転任（順次昇進）の形であるため、新宮以下の社司と氏人中とは、これまで出入り（争論）に及んだことはついになかったのですが、七家の者共の所存として、七家と立場を確立した上は、それ以外の社家は格式の異なる者に仕立て上げ、手下にしたいという考えから、前々より氏人を格式の別なる者であるかのように申し立て、違乱を申し出てきた次第でございます。
また、氏人中は、いずれも神主まで順次転任していく古法・社例でありますから、その身柄は本来格式に差別のないものであると存じておりますため、万事において引き落とされないようにと存じるところから、出入り（争論）が止まない次第でございます。寛文四年に七家のご定めが遊ばされた内、五家の分は享保六年に断絶となり、只今においては林宮内一家のみが、右の違乱を…
英語訳
The seven families, now acting in unison, have raised disputes over various matters such as the rights to thoroughfare fields (ōrai-den) and the matter of adopted children of temple monks (sōsō yūshi), and have made various objections even regarding matters that had been officially settled in recent years, including the duties of estate managers (daikan-yaku), the performance of religious ceremonies (shinji kinkata), and court ranks—stirring the entire shrine into turmoil. When all is said and done, among the shrine officials, the negi and hafuri of Shingū Shrine and those below them are subject to sequential reassignment (jidai tennin) in accordance with shrine law, and thus there had never been any dispute between the shrine officials of Shingū and below and the ujibito. However, it has been the intention of the seven families that, having established themselves as "the seven families," they wished to make all other shrine families into persons of a distinctly different and lesser status, reducing them to subordinates. It is for this reason that, from times past, they have represented the ujibito as persons of a separate and lesser standing, and have raised these disputes.
Furthermore, since it is the ancient custom and precedent of the shrine that all ujibito may advance in sequential reassignment all the way up to the position of chief priest (kannagi), there is inherently no distinction of status among them. It is precisely because the ujibito believe this to be so, and wish not to be diminished in any matter, that these disputes have not ceased. Of the seven families established by official designation in the fourth year of Kanban (1664), five families became extinct in the sixth year of Kyōhō (1721), and as of now, only the single family of Hayashi Kunai continues these aforementioned disputes…
