In prima sessione cum ageretur de eligendo serenissimo Ferdinando rege, protestatus est publice ore et scripto Ioannes, filius ducis Saxoniae, nomine patris sui, quod in eam electionem non consentiret, admonendo alios electores, ut memores essent iuramenti facti, ne eligerent eum, qui extra Germaniam natus esset, et in eo loco, qui in bulla aurea pro electione non esset deputatus, et quod ideo nomine patris sui huic electioni nequaquam vellet consentire, protestatus, ut prius. Ad hoc alii electores contra illum, locum patris sui tenentem, vicissim protestabantur, ut contra schismaticum et inoboedientem, reservantes sibi contra hoc factum suo tempore iuris processum.
