THE IE Order for Morning Prayer, the Litany, and the Order for the Administration of the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion, are independent Services, and may be used either separately or together; Provided that no one of these Services be habitually disused. The Litany may be used either in place of the Prayers that follow the Collect for Grace in the Order for Morning Prayer, or in place of the Prayers that follow the Collect for Aid against Perils in the Order for Evening Prayer. On any day when Morning and Evening Prayer shall have been said, or are to be said in Church, the Minister may, at any other Service, with or without a Sermon or Lecture, use such devotions as he shall at his discretion select from this Book, subject to the direction of the Ordinary. For days of Fasting and Thanksgiving, appointed by the Civil or by the Ecclesiastical Authority, and for other special occasions for which no Service or Prayer hath been provided in this Book, the Bishop may set forth such Form or Forms as he shall think fit, in which case the same shall be used and none other.

The Minister shall, on the days for which they are appointed, use the Proper Psalms, as set forth in the Table of Proper Psalms.

HE Old Testament is appointed for the First Lessons, and the New Testament for the Second Lessons at Morning and Evening Prayer throughout the Year.

If in any Church, upon a Sunday or Holy-day, both Morning and Evening Prayer be not said, the Minister may read the Lessons appointed either for Morning or for Evening Prayer. At Evening Prayer on Sunday, the Minister may read the Lesson from the Gospels appointed for that Day of the Month, in place of the Second Lesson for the Sunday. Upon any Day for which no Proper Lessons are provided, the Lessons appointed in the Calendar for any Day in the same week may be read in place of the Lessons for the Day. On Days of Fasting and Thanksgiving, especially appointed, and on occasions of Ecclesiastical Conventions and of Charitable Collections, the Minister may appoint such Lessons as he shall think fit in his discretion.
