Pr' thee, thou hast

I know it is old-fashioned speech, but can somebody explain how it was used? I mean, was it colloquial or informal? How come it is also use in prayers? When did it become old-fashioned? (I remember Fancy Day in Under the Greenwood Tree asking her father not to speak like that because it was no longer fashionable)-
