現代語訳
一、二千五百七十余（石）の内、寺庵領百二十石を押領しているという訴えについて。この寺庵領については、光源院殿（織田信長公）の御朱印状・御下知、並びに先師の譲状・寄進状等が存在する。旧領の田地から申告し、九十余石を拝領して御神事・祭礼の費用（石かかり）を拠出し、その上に毎年様々な役儀も勤めている。とりわけ、出家（寺院）がなければ清浄な神道は成り立ちがたいものである。そのため、神主経久は正伝寺の檀家方となり、また市神主音平は慈雲庵という寺を建立し、当社の敷地内の田畑等を寄附して、今日に至るまで慈雲庵という寺庵が存在している。また、神主幸平は妙観寺という寺を建立し、境内の田地を付置して、今日に至るまで妙観寺田と称している。このように数百年以前より当社領の内を寺領に付置してきたことは、訴人の先祖の中にも数多く関わっている。このような子細をよく知りながら、寺庵領は押領であると訴えるのは、これもまた虚言である。
一、地下人（じげにん）九十石を押領しているという訴えについて。昔より当所に居住している地下人であるので、以前からの筋目（由緒・慣例）をもって申告し、（以下次頁に続く）
英語訳
One matter: It has been claimed that 120 koku of temple and hermitage lands (ji'an-ryō) out of the total of over 2,570 koku have been unlawfully seized (ōryō). Regarding these temple and hermitage lands, there exist documentary evidence including the vermilion-seal documents (goshuin) and directives (gochishi) of Kōgen'in-dono (Lord Nobunaga Oda), as well as transfer documents (yuzuri-jō) and donation records (kisin-jō) from former masters. These lands were duly registered from the old domain fields, and over 90 koku was received in grant, from which expenses for divine ceremonies and festivals (ishi-kakari) are drawn. Furthermore, various duties are performed each year. Most notably, without the existence of Buddhist establishments, the purity of Shinto practice would be difficult to maintain. For this reason, Head Priest Tsunehisa became a parishioner (dandankata) of Shōdenji Temple, and Ichi-kannushi Otohira established a temple called Jiunan, donating paddy fields and other land within the precincts of this shrine — and this temple, Jiunan, continues to exist to this day. Likewise, Head Priest Kōhei established a temple called Myōkanji and assigned land within the shrine grounds to it, which is still known today as the Myōkanji fields. In this manner, portions of this shrine's domain have been designated as temple lands for several hundred years, and among the ancestors of the very plaintiffs, there are many who were involved in this practice. Despite knowing these circumstances well, to claim that the temple and hermitage lands constitute unlawful seizure is yet another falsehood.
One matter: It has been claimed that 90 koku belonging to the local residents (jigenin) has been unlawfully seized. As these are local residents who have lived in this area since ancient times, in accordance with long-established precedent and customary practice, they duly registered [the land] — (continues on the following page)
