Given the multiplicity of 'English' accents in modern england, is there
any reason to suppose Elizabethan England would have had but one dialect? 
London had a significant immigrant population as well as itinerants from
wales, scotland, ireland, various areas of france, islands off scotland
more norse than scots, frisia - not to mention the midlands,
northumberland, cornwall etc.
