Excerpt-We cannot doubt that the earliest prayers of the Collect form had local colouring; but those which have survived for our use are so expressed as to include many local applications, and a very great variety of circumstances.
Further, it will be clear that an extempore prayer may be part of a form of Service, just as much as a printed prayer.
