In her book In Awe of Thy Word (⚠️), Gail Riplinger lists the following resources for Early Modern English dictionaries:

The best dictionary for studying words used in the King James Bible is the online Early Modern English Dictionaries Database (EMEDD), compiled by linguists from the University of Toronto to “correct the OED” and more accurately define words as they were used between 1530 and 1657. Definitions from 16 dictionaries, many available to the KJV translators, appear instantly online when a KJV word is searched. The dictionaries include Robert Cawdrey (1604), Edmond Coote (1596), John Bullokar (1616), Henry Cockeram (1623), Thomas Blount (1656), Richard Mulcaster (1582), John Palsgrave (1530 English and French), William Thomas (1550 English and Italian), John Florio (1598 English and Italian), John Minsheu (1599 English and Spanish), Randal Cotgrave (1611 English and French) and others. The EMEDD is currently available at:
