Unto this sitting at Spires first the Ambassadors of Strasburg, were not admitted, but repelled by Ferdinandus, because they had rejected the mass: and therefore the said city of Strasburg denied to pay any contribution against the Turk, except they with other Germans, might be likewise admitted into their counsels. The other princes which were received and not repelled,1 as the duke of Saxony, George of Brandenburg, Ernestus, & Franciscus Earls of Luneburgh, Landgrave, Anhaldius, did utterly gainstand the decree, & showed their cause in a large protestation written, why they so did: which done, all such cities which subscribed and consented to the said protestation of the princes, eftsoons conjoined them selves in a common league with them, whereupon they had their name, called thereof Protestants. The names of the Cities were these.2 Argentina, or Strasburg, Noriberge, Ulmes, Constance, Rutelinge, Winssemium, Meminge, Lindavia, Campodunum, Hailbrunum, Isna, Wisseburgum, Norlinge, Sangallum.
