Excerpt from The Priest's Prayer Book: Containing Private Prayers and Intercessions, Occasional, School, and Parochial Offices, Offices for the Visitation of the Sick, With Notes, Readings, Collects, Hymns, Litanies, Etc, With a Brief Pontifical
Tms Volume is designed as an Appendix to the Book of Common Prayer, and to provide the parochial Clergy with Offices and Collects for those occasional ministrations for which no formal or authorized provision has been made. Nearly all matter which may be found in the Prayer Book itself has consequently been omitted, but by a simple method of cross references the Officiant is enabled to utilize such portions of the Book of Common Prayer as are available for the case in hand.
The Offices, and particularly those for the Visitation of the Sick, are based on ancient models, and are constructed so as to allow of the greatest plasticity in their use. In structure these forms consist of two parts, one invariable, designed as a framework, the other, changeable within certain limits, to admit of diversity. A rigid and invariable form, even if appropriate, either causes wearisome repetition, or compels the substitution of one that is inappropriate, for' the sake of change, and this inconvenience makes itself especially felt when the Priest has to pay constant visits to a single case, or else to many cases of the same type.
