## 覚(おぼえ)
一、陸奥守殿が今回、首尾よく御暇(おいとま)を賜ったことは、皆々大いに喜ばしく、まことに有難いことと存じます。
まず第一に、どうか心安くお思いになられるよう、そのようにご理解いただくようにとの上意(将軍のお言葉)は、誠にもって比類なきことでございます。
この上は、いよいよ諸事につきご慎重に仕置きなさることが肝要と存じます。武家諸法度にも「万事、江戸の法度に従い遵行すべし」とある以上、御代々のご作法はそれぞれ別として、新規のことについては老中とご相談なさるのが然るべきかと存じます。
一、吉利支丹(キリシタン)宗門の件につきましては、いよいよ念を入れて取り締まるよう申し付けるべき旨、御目見えの日に仰せ渡されました。
以前も御領分において「ひつほ(?)」…

Item: Regarding the matter of the Christian sect — on the day of the formal audience, it was proclaimed that ever greater diligence should be applied in suppressing and investigating this sect.
Previously as well, within the domain, "hitsuho (?)..."
