1st Corinthian 1:10-17

The big and powerful ones of this world have begun chasing and making Christ's doctrine odious placing it under the name of Lutero, and this of a way that the one who preaches in any place Christ's doctrine is corrected of “Lutheran“ although it is a question of someone that has not even read the Lutero writings and abides only by the God's Word. And this is what has happening with me. But the case is that before it had known at least the name of Lutero, I had already begun in the year 1516 preaching Christ's gospel …

To be able to preach I devoted myself ten years ago to study thoroughly the Greek language, in order to know Christ's doctrine in his original language. That others judge if with this I have acted properly; but true it is that Lutero did not induce me to it. I repeat that he was not knowing his name and it came to my ears two years after having abided for my account by the Sacred Writing.

The papists, nevertheless, apply me to me and to others the name of Lutero, as earlier I have said, and do it for nastiness, and say:

“Undoubtedly you are a "Lutheran" and you preach as Lutero writes.”

To this only me it is necessary to answer:

“Also I preach just as San Pablo was preaching. Why do not you prefer to call me 'paulinista'? Also, I preach Christ's Word: why do not you prefer to call me ‘a Christian‘?”

Moral: Exactly it happens to the Calvinists today, but on behalf of the same Christians.
