Noone would have written like that. That is a printing typeface. Handwritten fraktur is very different. Anyway the writing in OPs picture is medieval, while the printing typeface is obviously early modern, 17th-19th cenutry.

I know, but it's hard to find a good example with exactly that text. And I have no clue where I've hidden my calligraphy stuff. At least it doesn't contain a lowercase s, so it should be somewhat fine.
