I research family history, so have seen my share of old documents.
I don’t think the first word is “This”, compare the letters to others, the last one is not an “s” in my view.
Also no sign of a “k” for “Bac”.
I’d guess at some kind of biblical (?) quote. It does not look like a manufacturer inscription.
