Frankli, þes, þes I do, becas yeþ didnt speak modern Engliș, wiç we do, & to wiç ye ruls aplþ to. Ye misionarþ is verþ wrong to lektur ye nativs on yeir langweig, but is eqali right to lektur yem on Engliș.

There is a right and a wrong way to break the rules. If you're gonna go out of your way to use obsolete ortography, don't half-ass it.

But modern English doesn't use thorn or eth, so there are no rules about using them. There is absolutely no reason to enforce an arbitrary standard on someone using thorn in a historically precedented way. They're not "breaking the rules" in the first place.
