My guesses (not seeing the words in context):

setchell - (not  really sure about this one) a satchel/travel bag?
dealeth - deals - as  in "He dealeth with his problems."
keame - came
seame - seem or seam, as in clothing
fylthines -  filthiness/dirtiness
bokes - books
kye - key
syc - such

Hello  there.
I happened to come across your page on the internet whilst trying to  help  
my 
10 year old daughter with some school work,
She is  currently studying the "Tudors" and their language,and would like to  
 
ask if you could translate a few words,

The words  are:-setchell,dealeth,keame,seame,fylthines,bokes,kye and   syc.

She has already attempted some of them and would like a  second  opinion.
Hoping you will please oblige.
Jeff +  Lauren.
