Then shall follow three Collects. The first of the day; the second for Peace; the third for aid against all perils, as hereafter followeth; which two last Collects shall be daily said at Evening Prayer without Alteration. The second Collect at Evening Prayer. O God, from whom all holy desires, &c. Here may follow an Anthem or Hymn. A Prayer of Saint Chrysostome. [In the Shortened Order for Morning Prayer the Versicle, "O Lord, open Thou our lips," is followed by &cs., which, of course, include the Second Versicle and the two Responses; but in the Shortened Order for Evening Prayer the &cs. are omitted in this place. The Second Versicle and the Responses may, however, be added, under the authority of the empowering Note at the beginning of the Schedule, as a "prayer." The Lesser Litany may, of course, be added in its proper place under the same authority. It will be noticed, that the Rubric next after the Creed does not accord with the existing Rubric and practice. ED.] NOTES ON THE ACTS OF UNIFORMITY (SHEWING THE LATEST REPEALING STATUTES).
