Afeared is the same word as 'afraid', just spelled differently.

Shakespeare used the word 'afraid' 42 times and 'afeared' just once.

What did Shakespeare mean by the word 'then'?

Shakespeare wrote in English, the same language I am using now. There is no such language as "Shakespearean language" or "Shakespeare language". It's English. A word like "then" is a building block of the English language and always means "then" when Shakespeare or any other English speaker uses it.
