Mar 22, 2017 at 21:58 comment added herisson The most well-known standardized pattern of usage is "ye" for subject-case pronouns and "you" for object case. Of course there was some variation in usage between dialects and during the long period when "ye" was dying but not yet dead. They are used correctly in this passage; the author seems to have actually done some research. You can find information about the case of "ye" in its entry in a good dictionary such as the American Heritage Dictionary or Merriam Webster.
