78 Of the Language
to trouble our Selves any farther, this will hold true in all the rest of that
kind. WhereSore Setting apart other considerations, and looking upon this
Language, not as it contains in it Sorreign words, but only Such as they
alwaies uSed within themSelves, and were ever received among them, it
remains that we conclude it to be not a miScellany or colledion oS Latin,
German , SwediSh Scraps, and the like, neither as a peculiar Speech, different
from them altogether,but Such as originally took its riSe from the Finlanders,
tho time hath brought it to paSs that perhaps few of them understand it.

Conjugations, Moods, TenSes, fee. and perhaps it may not beamiSs if I
Ihould here inSert Some examples : I will therefore first decline you a
Lap-landiSh Noun, and afterwards give you the Finnonick DeclenSion of the
fame, that by comparing both you may better understand the parity and
disparity of theSe Languages. This Noun Shall be Immel, for So the
Tor-nenfes call it, tho other fay Juhmtl, the Finlanders terms it Jumala, and
it Signifies God.
