These would have been pronounced as "Thou" and "Thee".

There's also confusion with the "ſ" if you read old text, because it looks a lot like an "f", but has the crossbar of an "f" on the left side, but not the right. Yay typography! laugh

That's very interesting. It's amazing how time changes things and understanding gets lost in history.
