_A Prayer for the High Court of Parliament, to be read during
their Session_.

Most gracious God, we humbly beseech thee, as for this Kingdom
in general, so especially for the High Court of Parliament, under
our most religious and gracious King at this time assembled: That
thou wouldest be pleased to direct and prosper all their
consultations to the advancement of thy glory, the good of thy
Church, the safety, honour, and welfare of our Sovereign and his
Dominions; that all things may be so ordered and settled by their
endeavours, upon the best and surest foundations, that peace
and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, may be
established among us for all generations. These and all other
necessaries, for them, for us, and thy whole Church, we humbly
beg in the Name and Mediation of Jesus Christ our most blessed
Lord and Saviour. _Amen_.

_A Collect or Prayer for all Conditions of men, to be used at
such times when the Litany is not appointed to be said_.

O God, the Creator and Preserver of all mankind, we humbly
beseech thee for all sorts and conditions of men; that thou
wouldest be pleased to make thy ways known unto them, thy saving
health unto all nations. More especially we pray for the good
estate of the Catholic Church; that it may be so guided and
governed by thy good Spirit, that all who profess and call
themselves Christians may be led into the way of truth, and
hold the faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace, and
in righteousness of life. Finally we commend to thy fatherly
goodness all those, who are any ways afflicted or distressed
in mind, body, or estate; [_especially * those for whom our
prayers are desired;_] that it may please thee to comfort and
relieve them, according to their several necessities giving them
patience under their sufferings, and a happy issue out of all
their afflictions. And this we beg for Jesus Christ his sake.
_Amen_.
