tlmt  lies  beyond  tliis  world,  as  well  as  of  the  peace  wliicli  tbe
world  cannot  give,  nor  tbe  soul  entirely  receive  while  it  is  in  the
world.  In  the  morning  collect  the  tone  of  the  prayer  was  that  of
one  who  asks  God  of  His  mercy  to  bless  and  co-operate  with  bis
own  in  their  strife  against  spiritual  foes  :  but  in  the  evening  the
words  are  more  those  of  one  who  is  no  longer  able  to  strive
against  his  enemies,  but  looks  to  his  Lord  God  alone  to  be  his
defence  and  his  shield.
[Between  the  second  and  third  Collect  at  Evening  Prayer,
Bishop  Cosln  wished  to  insert  the  second  of  the  Collects  appended
to  the  Communion  Service,  "  0  Almighty  Lord,  and  everlasting
God,"  under  the  title  of  "  The  Collect  for  grace  and  protection,"
but  the  alteration  was  rejected.  The  idea  seems  to  have  been
taken  ftom  the  York  Litany  .J
