71. A Collect or Prayer for all Conditions of men, to be used at such times when the Litany is not appointed to be said. 72. This to be said when any desire the Prayers of the Congregation. Especially, &c. It seems most conformable to the rubric to mention the names of those who desire the prayers of the congregation, in substitution for the word 'those' in the parenthesis. But the names, especially when numerous, are commonly given out either before the five prayers at morning or evening prayer, or immediately before this prayer. THANKSGIVINGS. The use of the Thanksgivings in the Litany is permitted, when desirable, but is not enjoined. 73. A General Thanksgiving. The 'General Thanksgiving' for general use, as well as the occasional thanksgivings for occasional use, is to be said by the Minister alone. 74. This to be said when any that have been prayed for desire to return praise. It is observable that the words 'return praise,' in contrast with the words 'prayers of the congregation,' in the prayer for all conditions of men, implies the presence of those who desire to return thanks. 75. For Rain. 76. For fair Weather. 77. For Plenty. 78. For Peace and Deliverance from our Enemies. 79. For restoring Publick Peace at Home. 80. For Deliverance from the Plague, or other common Sickness. 81. Or this. THE COLLECTS, EPISTLES, AND GOSPELS TO BE USED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. 82. Note, that the Collect appointed for every Sunday, or for any Holy-day that hath a Vigil or Eve, shall be said at the Evening Service next before. The Holy-days which have no vigil or eve, and therefore do not fall under this rule, are Ash-Wednesday and Good Friday. The Circumcision, Epiphany, Conversion of St. Paul, St. Mark, St. Philip and St. James, St. Barnabas, St. Michael, St. Luke, have no vigils, but having eves, the Collect is to be said the evening before. St. Stephen, St. John the Evangelist, and Holy Innocents, have neither vigil nor eve, but the Collects are generally said the evening before, in addition to the proper collect for the day. THE FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT. 83. This Collect is to be repeated every day, with the other Collects in Advent, until Christmas Eve. SAINT STEPHEN'S DAY. 84. Then shall follow the Collect of the Nativity, which shall be said continually unto New-year's Eve. THE CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST. 85. The same Collect, Epistle, and Gospel shall serve for every day after unto the Epiphany. For the precedence of these Collects, see note on Rubric 6. The first Day of Lent, commonly called ASH-WEDNESDAY. 86. This Collect is to be read every day in Lent after the Collect appointed for the Day. EASTER-DAY. 87. At Morning Prayer, instead of the Psalm, _O come let us sing_, &c. these Anthems shall be sung or said. Christ our passover, &c. See note on rubric 25, p. 16. THE TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
