First sentence: Because this year I enter my Jubilee [fiftieth] Year, I have thought perhaps the Almighty will cleanse me of my transgressions through his love and mercy and not through suffering; by His mercies let him purify me as I was at birth, and thus restore my soul to its pristine inheritance, as Scripture states, "In this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession" (Lev. 25:13).
