be_v necessary_a that_o he_o be_v of_o sufficient_a age_n gregory_n nazianzene_n have_v very_o well_o say_v that_o great_a advice_n must_v be_v take_v of_o what_o age_n he_o be_v that_o go_v about_o

because_o god_n have_v not_o command_v in_o his_o law_n that_o the_o levit_n shall_v be_v 25._o or_o 30._o year_n of_o age_n to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o those_o that_o aspire_v to_o the_o office_n

not_o that_o we_o say_v that_o the_o pastor_n always_o shall_v fall_v into_o these_o accident_n but_o because_o they_o have_v happen_v unto_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n the_o minister_n also_o
