I remember when i was in high school. We were to recite a litany to the Holy Face of Jesus and one of the phrases said, "by the love where with thou didst..." Notice the words thou didst. These (words) belong to the stage in the English language known as the Early Modern English. If we compare it to the Modern English, we will see changes in grammar, in the meanings of some words, and in spelling. Today, some writers still prefer Early Modern English for "artistic" purposes.
