Gosho 兵衛志殿御返事 The Three Obstacles and Four Devils

極楽寺殿はいみじかりし人ぞかし。念仏者等にたぼらかされて日蓮をあだませ給いしかば、我が身といい、其(そ)の一門皆(みな)ほろびさせ給う。

The lay priest of Gokuraku-ji seemed to be an admirable person. But deluded by the Nembutsu priests, he treated me with enmity, and as a result, he and his entire clan have been all but ruined.

Lord Gokurakuji was a respectable person. However, he himself and his clan became extinct because he was tempted by people of Nembutsu and bore a grudge against Nichiren.
