see the common people were not even
allowed to choose the attitude in which
they preferred to die. 1t was consid-
cred a great boon to be allowed to
work for Il Pharisee and watch him
while he was praying for other peo-
pie. Whenever the assessor came
around the Pharisee always paid taxes
on everything he had except his real
ESTATE and moneys and credits, even
going 50 far as to list one upright pi-

that the Pharisee was just 1000 years
