The biggest difference in speech in the 1500s compared to now was mainly there were heavier, thicker accents among colonists to America.

People used more "thee" and "thou", which was common language within churches as well. I can't think of another precise example, except that "slang" as we know it today did not exist -- neither in the amount of slang used or in the derogatory meanings that slang has today.
