Early modern English - for example, Elizabethan English, the language of Shakespeare - is already modern English, and any online English dictionary today - for example, the Merriam-Webster - would have 90+% of all early modern English words (these would typically be marked as "archaic" or "obsolete" usage, but not always - the language has changed surprisingly little since the 1500s and 1600s).
