FTR it's not Middle English, it's Plain Speech. "Thee" is the subject AND object form (like "you" is the subject AND object form nowadays) and it goes with the third person, just as "you" goes with the (originally) third person form (the "proper" form ends in a -t). The days of the week are "Resurrection, Second Day, Third Day, Midweek, Fifth Day, Sixth Day, Sabbath" and the months are known by the numbers instead of the pagan names.
