Why does Jonson approve of Shakespeare being buried far away from Chaucer and Spenser and Beaumont?
The writings of Chaucer, Spenser, and Beaumont belong to a different literary style and period. Actually that may be true of Chaucer, but not of Spenser and Beaumont who were Shakespeare's contemporaries. Spenser was a poet and sonnetteer just like Shakespeare (his sonnets are quite similar), and Beaumont was a playwright, who even had the same partner as Shakespeare (Fletcher) No, in his dedicatory ode which appears in the First Folio he says this: I will not lodge thee by Chaucer or Spenser or bid Beaumont lie A little further to make thee room; Thou art a monument without a tomb And art alive still while thy book doth live And we have wits to read, and praise to give. Jonson is saying that there is no need to bury Shakespeare because he is immortal through his art, a sentiment which Shakespeare often expressed in his sonnets.

What did Shakespeare use to write his plays down?
Not Old English, which is a totally different language that neither you nor Shakespeare could comprehend. Nor even Middle English, which Chaucer wrote in, and which you and Shakespeare could understand if it were written, but neither could understand when spoken. No, Shakespeare wrote exclusively in Modern English. You could understand Shakespeare if he spoke to you, although you might think his accent made him sound a bit like a pirate. (The particular dialect of English he used is called Early Modern English)
