Default Conjugation in EME

I'm a big fan of Shakespeare's works, but I wonder, how the verb in EME is conjugated. I found some info on this, but they were rather dubious and appeared to contradict themselves. So I hope someone oriented would answer my question:

1. Which suffix is attached to verbs with "thou"? -est, -st, -'st -t?
2. Which suffix is attached to verbs with "he, she, it"? -eth, -th, -'th, -s?
3. How is it all going with past simple? Are the suffixes attached also here?

I know that's rather academic question, but I hope someone would be able to help me. :)
