An example of archaic language in "Huswifery" by Edward Taylor is the usage of "thee" and "thy" instead of "you" and "your". For example, in the line "Make me, O Lord, thy spinning-wheel complete," the word "thy" is used instead of "your". These old-fashioned pronouns were common in 17th-century English but are rarely used in modern English.

Taylor already feels unworthy of God's grace; he is simply asking to be used of God.In the poem Taylor writes, "Make mee, O Lord, thy Spining Wheele compleat". Here Taylor is using metaphysical conceit to allude that his soul is the Spining Wheel.
