It was originally composed to be recited in public processions in an effort to invoke God&#8217;s favor and public support for King Henry VIII&#8217;s foreign policy; at the time, England was at war with both Scotland and France. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">The original text of the Great Litany included petitions that &#8220;All holy Aungels and Archaungels and all<\/span><\/em> <span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">holye <\/span><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">orders of blessed spirites . . .

Praye for us.&#8221; These were dropped when the Great Litany reappeared in the first Book of Common Prayer (1549) as an appendix to the service of the Eucharist. It was also used as part of the rites of Ordination to the Diaconate, the Priesthood, and the Episcopate in the Church of England&#8217;s English language Ordinal (1550). <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"> In the second edition of the Book of Common Prayer (1552), the Litany appeared as a stand-alone service, accompanied by the directions that the Great Litany should be used after the fixed collects of Morning Prayer on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.&nbsp;This form of usage was reaffirmed in the Prayer Books of 1559 and 1604. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O GOD the father of
