it_o be_v uncertain_a how_o many_o of_o these_o bundle_v the_o birkarli_n give_v but_o in_o the_o contract_n with_o gustavus_n the_o first_o those_o of_o luhla_n and_o pitha_n be_v engage_v to_o pay_v

for_o himself_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a some_o more_o alteration_n be_v make_v in_o the_o year_n 1602_o they_o pay_v instead_o of_o skin_n every_o ten_o rain-deer_n and_o one_o ten_o of_o all_o

the_o same_o year_n to_o require_v the_o tribute_n in_o this_o manner_n that_o so_o the_o laplander_n may_v know_v what_o and_o how_o much_o they_o be_v to_o pay_v for_o it_o seem_v that_o from_o

that_o seem_v most_o necessary_a for_o present_a use_n so_o that_o by_o this_o uncertainty_n the_o tribute_n grow_v very_o heavy_a upon_o the_o inhabitant_n and_o their_o governor_n take_v occasion_n
