Walther's Textbook, v.3a (Baier-Walther Compendium)

      This continues the series (see Part 1 for Table of Contents) publishing the digital text of "Walther's textbook", the Baier-Walther Compendium Theologiae Positivae.  As always, the printed versions of "Walther's Textbook" are available from Emmanuel Press.  (My works are not taken from their republished books but rather from original books.)
      Part IIIa (pages 1-336) is too large to place on a single blog post – Google Docs could not load this large of a text file.  So I am placing only Chapter V because it contains the all important chapter "De Justificatione" and Walther included quite a selection of quotes from Luther and other "orthodox Lutheran theologians".  It includes the response by Wittenberg and Württemberg theologians to Samuel Huber's error on pages 286-287; Walther explains their weakness here.  I would invite the reader to do a text search in a browser now for the text "justificatione" and "Rechtfertigung" (German for justification) and see how often these terms are used.  Then copy and paste the passages into Google Translate to get the English meaning.
      To aid the reader in navigating the large 2-part Volume III, here is the "Table of Contents" that only appears on the last page of Part IIIb:
