[10] It should be observed that the name of Protestant was not generally given in France to the followers of the Reformation, until the end of the seventeenth century, and that it would not be more exact to call them so in the former half of our history, than to designate by the name of Frenchmen the contemporaries of Clovis. They were called in the beginning, Lutherans, Sacramentarians, then Calvinists, Huguenots, Religionaries, or Those of the Religion. They called themselves Gospellers, the Faithful, the Reformers. The name of Protestant was at that time applied only to the disciples of the Lutheran Reformation in Germany.
