Page headers and broken line-wrapping left by the OCR have been tidied up. The wording is untouched.
Martin Luther: The Bondage of the Will (Edward Thomas Vaughan, London 1823); Works of Martin Luther vols. 1-3, the Philadelphia edition (A. J.

Scanned text: page headers and OCR line-wrapping were tidied up and the publishers' advertisements left out, but no wording was changed. The Philadelphia volumes 1 and 2 carry the most scanning noise, including marginal notes that run into the text.

The exception to the sentence at the top: this wording is ours, made in 2026 from the public-domain German of the Weimar edition, and free to anyone who reads it or passes it on freely — the licence restricts only commercial use. The text carries only what Luther wrote — the one marginal gloss in each is the print's own note; the section headings are the editors', for finding your way. The German source text travels with each volume in the source folder. On the Jews and Their Lies replaces the abridged, anonymous 1948 reprint that stood here before.
