I think Chris is correct on the pronunciation, but not the explanation. the EST ending used like this was on of the conjugations. e.g GOEST, SEEST, BEEST, etc.

This is an old form of the suffix -ist which is used in modern words such as 'cyclist' (one who cycles) or 'harpist' (one who plays the harp) or 'socialist' (one who believes in socialism), etc. It really means 'one who is' and you pronounce it like the word 'be' plus the ending 'ist'. The word 'seest' would be pronounced 'seeist' (one who sees). These are archaic forms so we don't use them in modern English
