"The book of Matthew gives c. 1, v. 6, a Genealogy by name from David, up, through Joseph, the husband of Mary, to Christ, and makes there to be twenty-eight generations. The book of Luke gives also a Genealogy by name from Christ, through Joseph, the husband of Mary, down to David, and makes there to be forty-three generations, besides which, there are only the two names of David and Joseph that are alike in the two lists. I here insert both Genealogical lists and for the sake of perspicuity and comparison have placed them both in the same direction that is from Joseph down to David."
