There is no English word "trustfull". "Trustful" means "Inclined to believe or confide readily; full of trust", according to the linked answer. Shakespeare does not use this word, but some of his contemporaries do, but with the meaning "trusty" or "reliable".

With a somewhat negative connotation, the word "credulous" seems to best fit the bill here. Its meaning to Shakespeare is the same as it is today. Shakespeare uses it a number of times, e.g. Tranio in Taming of the Shrew, "If he be credulous and trust my tale, I'll make him glad to seem Vincentio", or Iago in Othello "Thus credulous fools are caught; And many worthy and chaste dames even thus, All guiltless, meet reproach."
