Translation: "Regulation. Christianity has been banned for many years. Of course, if someone appears suspicious, you must report them. Rewards given as follows: For handing over a priest - 500 pieces of silver. For handing over a brother (monk) - 300 pieces of silver. For handing over someone who has returned to the (Christian) faith - 100 pieces of silver. For handing over someone who shelters Christians, or an ordinary believer - 100 pieces of silver. For reporting someone who shelters Christians, or an ordinary believer, you might bepaid (up to) 500 pieces of silver, depending on the person's importance. If a Christian emerges from hiding or some other place, then the headman and the five-man committee of that place may also be treated as criminal. Know ye well: By the Magistrate, 1st day, 5th month, Tenna 2 (1682), it is hereby ordered and must be strictly observed in this territory."
