A collect is composed of an addre to the Trinity or to one of the Divine Persons, a petition thus introduced, and the pleading of Christ's merits or final ascription to a Person of the Trinity. One collect may be used alone or several in succe ion. Collects regularly belong to the eucharis- tic office, but are repeated in the day-offices (hours, morn- ing and evening prayer), thus forming a constant link between the latter and the altar service. They are char- act eristic of Western liturgies and offices, not being known in the Eastern churches. Almost all those still in use are very ancient, and the origin of this form of prayer is at least as old as the fifth century. Leo the Great (440-61) and Gelasius I. (492-96) are reputed the first composers of collects. See oratio . The unity of sentiment and severity of style which characterise these little pieces [Milton's Sonnets] remind us of the Collects of the English Liturgy. While the East, again, soars to God in exclamations of angelic self-forgetfulne , the West comprehends all the spiritual needs of man in Collects of matchle profundity. P.
