Claud._ where he divides the _Finlanders_ into _Siofinnar_, i. e. maritime _Finlanders_, and _Lappefinner_; i. e. _Lappfinlanders_, the same with the _Laplanders_. This may be collected too from the _Russians_ calling them not only _Lappi_, but _Kajienni_, the original of which name can be no other but that they esteem them to be the _Cajani_, of which name there is a Province now in _Finland_ called _Cajania_ the great. But here some imagine that the _Laplanders_ came not in probability from the _Finlanders_, because the one are very warlike, the other cowards, these fat and corpulent, those lean and meager. But this doth not at all invalidate our arguments; for every one knows that diet will much alter the habit of the body, and the _Finlanders_ have plenty of good nurishing meats, of which the _Laplanders_ are quite destitute. And for the _Finlanders_ courage in war, heretofore they were not so notable for it, for _Tacitus_ saies _they had neither arms nor horses_, by which he implies they knew not at all what belonged to war. Neither are they very expert at it yet, for by daily experience ’tis found when they are likely to be prest for Soldiers they hide themselves, and by all means decline employment, therefore they are not warlike from their nature, but from their discipline and arts, and in their natural temper they differ not much from the _Laplanders_. But what need we go about to prove this by so many arguments, when they confess themselves they are originally sprung from the _Finlanders_, and still keep a list of the Captains that first led them forth into _Lapland_, of whom _Mieschogiesch_ is the chief. The same is confirm’d by _Andr. Andresonius_ who lived there, and learn’t it from them, only that he said _Thins kogreh_ was the cheif Captain, and so doth _Zachar. Plantin_. But whatever is said of either of these two Captains, we are not to imagine that they brought the first Plantation of _Laplanders_ into this Country, for ’tis not probable they should so long remember their names, who must have lived before _Saxo_, for he mentions this Country, and lived about 480 years before us, at which time the _Finlanders_ themselves scarce know what was done, much less the _Laplanders_. And this the name _Thinns_, doth something prove, which none shall perswade me to be an old _Finland_ word, for it is the same with the _Swedes_ _Thinnis_, and the Dutch _Thinius_, i. e. _Antonius_, and that the word _Antonius_ was known to the _Finlanders_ before _Christ_ no man will suspect. The same may be said concerning the pretended occasion of the Colony of _Finlanders_ setling in _Lapland_; for they themselves say, that they left _Brokarla_ and _Rengoarvis_, because they were opprest with taxes and pitcht first in a wood in _Ostrobothnia_ called _Tavastia_ near the _Bodic bay_. But all this, as hath bin shew’d the very name of _Lappi_, which signifies banish’t persons, sufficiently confutes. _Plantin_ and _Peter Nieuren_, pretend
