現代語訳

一、今度在々締めのため諸願吟味のため大庄屋が仰せ付けられた。諸事願い等があれば吟味を遂げ、依怙贔屓なく御為を思い、下が成り立つよう取り扱うこと。
一、在々の耕作に油断なく、御納所出精すること。
一、在々で身持ちが非常によく、心立てが正直で親に孝行のある者は、常々吟味を遂げて申し達すこと。もっとも兼ねて仰せ出された御法式に背き、村のためにならない者があれば、親疎の隔てなく申し達すこと。
一、御役儀を申し立て権威に募り、我意を立ててはならないこと。
一、御擬作二十俵ずつ下され置かれた上は、福井へ出向く往来並びに逗留中の諸失却は自分で仕い、支配下へ失却をかけてはならないこと。
付け足し：願いの取次・村締めが第一のことであるから、福井へ出向くことは数少なくなるよう心得ること。
一、仰せ出された御触れ事が顕れた配符を指し出し、表立った御用の外は人足を遣ってはならないこと。

一、在々へ配符で申し渡し、左の通り。

一、松岡でも大庄屋一人、下領・泥原・新保・浦でも同じく一人。右は下より相願い、願いの通り仰せ付けられた。右両方とも上より下され物はなく、村方より盛ることも少しもないとのこと。
