Luke11:4

4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

See the Notes on Matth. 6. v. 9, 10. whoso compareth this Prayer as it is recorded by Matthew will find the form of Words differing in more things then one, not only the Doxology or Conclusion is left out wholly by Luke, but for [non-Latin text not transcribed] there, we have [non-Latin text not transcribed] here, for [non-Latin text not transcribed], Luke hath [non-Latin text not transcribed], for [non-Latin text not transcribed], we have here [non-Latin text not transcribed], from whence plainly appears that our Saviour did not intend to oblige his Disciples to the same Syllabical Words, but only to Words of the same import, that is to Praying for the same things, yet that Christians have a liberty to use the same Words is out of question, and as much out of a question that they have a liberty to vary, still keeping their Eyes upon the matter of this Prayer, and not forgeting that, when they go unto God in that holy Duty.
