"HEY writeAfrom Ratifbon, that the Protefants
4 at the general Diet of the Empire, fitting in that
city, are divided into two parties one of which, competed
ofthe Rates that proes the Lutheran religion, continue
to apply in all their Affairs to the ancient directory ofthe
Electoral houie of Saxony and the other party, con-
fitting of the Reformed States, will, for the future, apply
to the houfe of Brandenbourg. The occaion of this
dvon not known but it probable that the reform
ed party may think the King of Pufia, EeGtor of
Brandenbourg, more likely, as well as able, to
medy their grievances, and give weight to their affairs,
then the Ele6for of Saxony, who is well known to be of
the Catholic religion. AOs
