As it has been only a short time since our family established our Bakufu, the official discipline and laws created so far are still incomplete and even though I intended to revise them, now it is unfortunately impossible, so after my death, you shall revise those without hesitation, it is a filial piety to pursue the same aims as myself.'
「当家夜をありつの日浅く、今まで創建せし綱紀政令、いまだ全備せしにあらざれば、近年のうちにそれぞれ改修せんと思ひしが、今は不幸にして其の事も遂げずなりぬ、我なからむ後に、御身いささか憚る所なく改正し給へば、これぞ我が志を継ぐとも申すべき孝道なれ」
