		On the other hand, the agreement reached at Augsburg did amount to a distinct understanding that, until some authoritative decision-whether proceeding from a General Council, or a National Synod, or an Imperial Diet-should have been accepted by Catholics and Lutherans alike, both sides should be at liberty to exercise the religion of their choice.
		The abnormal dilatoriness of the Imperial Diet was in its turn attributable to the fact that the Princes of the Empire, swollen with a sense of their expanding political importance and consequently more and more disposed to determine for themselves the successive steps of their policy, as a rule abstained from personal attendance.
		During the interval between the Augsburg Diet of 1566 and that of Speier in 1570 the progress of the religious conflict in France and in the Netherlands made it more and more necessary for the German Protestants to decide on their bearing towards it.

		After holding their own view for some years the four cities accepted the Confession of Augsburg, and were merged in the general body of Lutherans; but Zwinglis position was incorporated in the Helvetic Confession.

		The singular ecumenical importance of Augsburg is not limited to its being the almost universally normative confession among Lutherans, the largest non-Roman group of Christians in the West.
		Article 7 of Augsburg hardly suggests the bare bones: "The church is the assembly of saints in which the Gospel is taught purely and the sacraments are administered rightly." Yet it may turn out that Lutherans, as ecclesiological easy riders, so to speak, are ecumenically better positioned for their task.
		They did demand (and at Augsburg it was more like a request) the freedom to proclaim the gospel as they understood it and to advance practical reform in accord with that understanding.
