- Why do you missionaries so anxiously, even forcefully, try to make converts?
- Why do you destroy Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples and persecute monks instead of being conciliatory to them?
- Why do you do such unreasonable things as eat useful animals like horses and cows that serve people?
- Why do the Portuguese buy many Japanese and take them to their country as slaves?
