I like the enthusiasm, but you're using "þ" in a lot of places where you want "ð". Eð should go in words like "the" and "they"

Common misconception. Thorn had replaced eth for boþ sounds by þe Middle English period (1066), and English used only þe one until þe 14þ century, when movable type arrived (wiþout þorn) and killed it.

It's entirely accurate to þe Middle English period to use only thorn.
