現代語訳
一、十月二十八日の御手代会（おてだいかい）は、とりわけ種々の神秘（しんぴ）を行うことで神事としていたところ、その足（そく）年貢・諸公事物（しょくじもの）等を悉く（ことごとく）納め取り、たちまち闕怠（けったい）せしめてしまった。古今（こきん）にわたって、重則が一人の限りにおいてその咎（とが）は到底逃れ難いものである。
一、応永年中（おうえいねんちゅう）・文明元年（ぶんめいがんねん）に神事を闕怠（けったい）せしめたところ、重則は拵え（こしらえ）・造意（ぞうい）して神事を闕（か）き、御祈祷（ごきとう）を退転（たいてん）せしめ、身の置き所もない間（あいだ）、無理の言上（ごんじょう）を卒尓（そつじ）にも至ったものである。
一、権祝職（ごんほうりしょく）を相拘（あいかか）えて重則父子の間において、その依怙（えこ）の事は無道の極みである。これにより神事の闕怠（けったい）を令したものである（如くである）。子細（しさい）は、先年（せんねん）権祝の代（よ）に重秋（しげあき）に仰せ付けられたところ、重則が罷り出でて（まかりいでて）一社の儀（ぎ）と称し、役職を押領（おうりょう）せしめたことは、今や紛れもないことである。
一、神領の年貢・諸出物（しょいでもの）を私用（しよう）していないと申す事は、これ虚誕（きょたん）である。その故は、箱作庄（はこつくりのしょう）の歳末・年始の人夫以下、その外（ほか）境内年貢・公事物等に至るまで、今もって定使（じょうし）を以て責め取っているため、名主（なぬし）・百姓の注進の状（じょう）がある。なおもってその咎（とが）の根（ね）たるものか。
一、祢宜（ねぎ）・祝方（はふりかた）の神事を闕怠せしめた輩（やから）は、永く重科（じゅうか）に処せられるべきであり、遠官職（とおかんしょく）を立てざる例（れい）も多い。加えて、社中（しゃちゅう）において後勘（こうかん）を顧みず、かつ叡慮（えいりょ）を恐れず、かつ神慮（しんりょ）を軽んじて、雅意（がい）に任せて一社に対して濫訴（らんそ）を企てたことは、前代未聞（ぜんだいみもん）の所行（しょぎょう）である。
右の条々の旨趣（しゅし）は、一社の理運（りうん）に任せ、御成敗（おせいばい）に預かるため、一々言上せしめ、惣（そう）じて……（次頁へ続く）
英語訳
Item: The御手代会 (o-tedai-kai, the assembly of shrine deputies) on the 28th day of the 10th month was specifically established to perform various sacred and secret rites (shinpi) as shrine rituals (jinji). However, [Shigenori] collected in full all the associated supplementary annual rice taxes (soku nengu) and various service levies (shokujimono), and immediately caused these obligations to fall into neglect and default (kettai). Throughout all ages, past and present, Shigenori alone cannot possibly escape responsibility for this transgression.
Item: Regarding the neglect of shrine rituals (jinji kettai) during the Ōei era (1394–1428) and in Bunmei 1st year (1469): Shigenori fabricated excuses and deliberately contrived (zōi) to omit the performance of shrine rituals, caused the sacred prayers (gokitō) to be discontinued and abandoned, and, while having nowhere to place himself [out of shame], still had the audacity to recklessly (sotsujin) submit unreasonable complaints (muri no gonjō).
Item: [Shigenori] has taken hold of the position of provisional hōri (gon-hōri-shoku) and monopolized it between himself and his son — his favoritism and partiality (eko) in this matter is the height of misconduct (mudō). It is as a result of this that he has caused the neglect of shrine rituals. The details are as follows: in previous years, the position of provisional hōri was entrusted to Shigeaki (重秋), but Shigenori appeared and, claiming it was the will of the entire shrine (ichisha), usurped (ōryō) the official position. This is now beyond any doubt.
Item: The claim that the annual taxes and various produce (shoidemono) from shrine lands (shinryō) have not been appropriated for private use is entirely false (kyotan). The reason is as follows: from the year-end and New Year laborers (ninpu) of Hakozukuri estate (shō) and below, and extending to annual rents and service levies from within the shrine precinct (keidai), [Shigenori] has continued even now to seize these through the appointed collectors (jōshi), and there exist written reports (chūshin no jō) from the estate managers (nanushi) and peasants (hyakushō) to this effect. This surely constitutes the root of his transgressions.
Item: Those who have caused the neglect of shrine rituals (jinji kettai) among the negi (祢宜, senior priests) and hōri group (hafuri-kata, ritualists) should permanently be subjected to severe punishment (jūka); there are many precedents of not permitting the establishment of distant official posts (tōkanshoku) [for such offenders]. Moreover, within the shrine community (shachū), [the opposing party] has shown no consideration for future accountability (kōkan), has shown no fear of the imperial will (eiryo), and has shown no reverence for the divine will (shinryo); instead, following only their own whims (gai), they have plotted to bring vexatious litigation (ranso) against the entire shrine — this is conduct without precedent in any former age (zendai mimon).
The purport of the above articles, in accordance with the just principles of the entire shrine (ichisha no riun), and in order to receive an august judgment (o-seibai), is hereby submitted item by item; and in general… (continued on next page)
