Where does the word “satst” come from? What does it mean?

What is the usage of the word satst (Client’s words) in the poem to “Paradise Lost” by John Milton? Can anyone tell me what it is? I can gather what the words imply, but this one I needed clarification.

Dove-like satst] brooding on the vast Abyss

Paradise Lost (London, 1674)
