I need help to find "renaissance words" for a script. I can not find anything on-line that gives me a list of common words they used. Such as, "here ye here ye". Please help me with more examples of this!

Look up some Shakespeare...all the material you should need. Or, try looking up "Elizabethan" speech. It might get more results.

Get hold of a copy of the King James Bible. It is written in the language you want, having been translated during the reign of Edward VI. If you are an Anglican or know any such, get hold of a copy of the Book of Common Prayer (the original version), which will show you the language that was being used in Tudor times.

First of all, it is "Hear ye, Hear ye". You need to search for Early Modern English. That is the technical name of the language that was spoken during Elizabethan times.
