It must be noted:
When Bro. Bill had to make the choice to give up on the Episcopalian which ,unknown to Bro Bill, chose to die in hopes Bro. Bill and Deep would reconcile , cast his dissenting vote.
Bro. Bills heart was pierced with the thought of Deep’s demise and Deep too proud to ask Bro. Bill to pray for him simply pulled Bro. Bill near and summoned the wisdom of Socrates who had laid at the same crossroads of his life in similar fashion, not wanting to ask for any forgiveness, simply quoted him “I owe Asclepius a c*o*c*k would you see that it is paid”.
Bro.Bill was able only to save Deeps earthly life and Deep being Lord Mayor gave Bro. Bill the Earthly equivalent of heaven; the position of tax collector.
