…15even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16"I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd. 17"For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.…John 10

Seventh day Baptists are believed to have begun formerly organising in 1617 in England, John Trask is one name that is mentioned as being a part of the movement at this time. The first recorded meetings of Seventh day Baptists were taken in 1651 at the Mill Yard Church which continues today.

I think the two different shapes for the letter 's' might have corresponded to slightly different sounds: German uses two different 's' characters, one for a more z-like sound and one for a more sibilant version. Maybe English made this distinction in writing at one time but later simplified?
