of which ancient Language theSe relidte did remain , and for this they give
this reafon ; that the Laplanders were forced to frame to themfelves a new
Language, for fear,least being understood by their neighbours the Finlanders^
they Should Sail into their Snares. So OU»s Petri Saies that often times they
found Spies about their tents in the night, hearkning after their Councels*
now for this reafon , according to the Policy of their Forefathers , flying
into the allotment of Ren go, in the Province of Nolnenfe, they there agreed
upon, and framed to themSelves a Speech quite different Srom that of
Finland. So that there are very few words found to agree in both Languages.
Now by the Spies he there talks cf, he understands the Finlanders, who
being driven out of their Country by Matthias Kuriius and the Tavaftiar.s,
roved up and down, Seeking where they might moft conveniently Settle,
as may appear from what goes before in that place. Others think that thefe
are the relifts of that Language which they firft brought into Lapland, which
they SuppoSe to be no other but that of the Tartars. But how falfe this is,
may appear Srom the vaft difference between thofe Tongues, in which there
is not one word that fignifies the fame thing in both Languages. And that
you may not* think I fay this without any reafon, I will give you a few,
inftances.
