Quoted by Thomas Paine in his Age of Reason, Conway vol. 4, page 154:
“The book of Matthew gives 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 is only the two names of David and Joseph that are alike in the two lists.”
Genealogy by Luke begins in ■Wycliffe chapter 3: 23, compare ■Wikipedia.
