receive the benefits of hunting, fishing, and fowling. I come now to the _Sun_, their third God, which is common to them with all other Pagans, him they call _Baiwe_, and worship him chiefly for his light and heat: also because they believe him to be the Author of Generation, and that all things are made by his means, especially their Rain-dears, of whom and their young they think he hath a particular care to cherish them by his heat, and bring them suddenly to strength and maturity. And being they live in a cold Country where their native heat is diminish’d, and often wholly extinguish’d, being they have nothing to sustain themselves with but the flesh of Rain-dear, they think it very fit to pay the Sun very great honors, who is the Author of so great blessings to them, and who at his return restores them that light which they lost by his departure, and that not for a day or two, but for several weeks, which being pai’d, the new day seems more welcom to them, by reason of long absence. To every one of these principal Gods they pay a several sort of worship; which consists first in the diversity of places dedicated to their service, next in the diversity of images erected to them in these places; lastly, in the diversity of Sacrifices which they offer to them. The place where they worship their _Thor_ or _Tiermes_ is a piece of ground set apart for this superstition, on the backside of their Huts, above a bows shoot off; there upon boards set together like a table they place their images. This table serves them instead of an Altar, which they surround with bows of birch and pine; with the same bows also they strew the way from their Huts to the Altar: and as the table serves them for an Altar, so do the bows for a Temple. The same account, only omitting the table, doth _Tornæus_ give of the _Tornenses_ and _Kiemenses_ worshipping of _Seita_, so that they may seem to be one and the same God: unless his description should be appli’d to _Storjunkar_ rather, because he mentions Lakes to be the place of his worship; which was proper to _Storjunkar_, as shall be shewn. But I suppose the _Seitas_ were worshipped in other places as well as Lakes, and so they signifi’d both Gods under one name, and that _Tornæus_ was not so curious as to distinguish between them. In the same place where they worshipp’d _Tiermes_ they worshipp’d the Sun also, and upon the same table too, which makes me suspect that they were but one God; whom they called _Tiermes_, when they invok’d him in the behalf of their lives, healths, or preservation from Demons, and _Baiwe_ when they beg’d of him light or warmth, or any thing that might fortify them against the cold. But the place where _Storjunkar_ was worshipped, was upon some peculiar mountains, and on the banks of Lakes: for almost every family hath its particular rocks and hills appointed for this business. Some of these rocks are so high and craggy that they are impassable to any but _Storjunkar_. But it must
