together with his prosperity when we call upon thee for him especially on extraordinary occasions Priest O Lord do thou Endue the hearts and minds of thy Ministers with the purity and holiness signified by their garments that so their lives may be full of righteousness Answ And thereby thou shalt make us and all thy chosen people out of our love to them and spiritual benefit by them exceeding joyful in such exemplary and faithf●l Pastors Priest Be graciously pleased O Lord continually to deliver and save thy people out of all their troubles Answ And of thy infinite bounty and goodness to bless thine inheritance which thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood Priest Mercifully Give peace to all the world and especially to thy Church that we may quietly serve thee in our time O Lord thou God of Peace Answ We pray to thee for Peace because there is no other can keep us from war or save us in it for we trust not in any one that fighteth for us since none can secure us but only thou O God of hosts Priest And since we are now to proceed in our supplications unto thee O God by thy grace make clean and purifie our hearts from sin that no evil thoughts may remain within us in our approaches unto thee Answ As thou hast begun to assist and cleanse us so be pleased to continue thy help and take not the sweet and necessary aid of thy holy spirit away from us but let it rest upon us in the remaining part of our devotions and for ever SECTION XIII Of the Collects for the Week and Festival daies § 1. IT cannot be expected we should here give a particular account of all the Collects for Sundaies and other Festival daies which are so numerous they cannot be contained in the narrow limits of this Essay and so plain that they need not any curious explication especially when the Pious soul by exercising it self in other parts of these offices after our proposed method is become expert in inlarging into devout meditations it will then easily do the same in these Collects without a Monitor And yet the Epistle and Gospel annexed to them are generally an excellent Commentary upon them and some judge they take their name from their being Collected out of those portions of holy Writ But if we regard the use of the Word in the Scripture and the Fathers (r) Dies collectae Vulg. Lat. Levit. 23.36 collectionem Vulg. Heb. 10.25 apud Patres collectam celebrare saepissimè Inde prec●tiones illae à populi collectione c●llectae appell●ri coeperunt Alcuinus they may rather seem to be denominated from the Collection and gathering together of the People into Religious Assemblies among whom so collected these Prayers were to be used For which cause though they be short (s) Existimant orationem brevem c●llectam appellari q●od sacerdos omnium petitiones compendiosâ brevitate colligit Walafridu● Strabo vid. Durand rational l. 4. c. 15. yet all that any need ask for is comprehended in them and collected into a small Epitome Therefore let the whole Congregation joyn most unanimously in them and apply them to their own and their bretherens known necessities And observe that they are all directed to the Father through the Son who liveth and loveth us (t) Generaliter ad Patrem dirigitur terminatur in Nomine filii paulo post O Pater exandi per filium tuum qui hoc vult potest vult quia vivit potest quia Regnat Durand Rat. l. 4. c. 15. and so will hear us and who reigneth in Heaven and therefore can help us The beginning is commonly the ground on which we are induced to ask and after the Petition made it is commonly backed with some motive taken from the glory of God or our benefit which we believe will be the effect of our being heard But if any desire a more distinct information of the subject of every Collect they may learn by the following table wherein they are so ranged that besides the direction in the publique we may by frequent use thereof be alwaies armed with a compendious and ejaculatory Prayer of the Churches composure pertinent to all occasions which may be of excellent use to those who desire to be alwaies on their guard against the enemy of their souls An Analytical Table of all the Weekly and Festival Collects § 2.
