Extract

The Book Annexed of 1662, as printed by the Queen’s Printers from the manuscript authenticated by the signatures of the members of both Houses of either Convocation, and annexed to the Act of Uniformity of 1662, shews no consistency in printing the Lord’s Prayer, and almost every time it occurs it is spelt or punctuated in a different way. But the variants are small, and in this Book the phrasing of the Prayer for public recitation appears in the following form:—

Our Father, which art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen.
