Also, looking at the Geneva Bible, the words "Shake" and "Spear" are in the same position, and that was published in 1560, a full four years before Shakespeare was born.
Besides, this plan doesn't seem to fit with what I know of Shakespeare. For one thing, when he hid little tidbits like that, they were usually references to things like genitalia and sex (Country Matters, anyone?) I don't think I can remember him making reference to his own name in any of his plays. Also, there's a lot of discussion about Shakespeare's religious views, but, as is common with Shakespeare, there isn't a lot of disagreement, but given how he A) repeatedly showed a preference for allusions to mythology to Christianity (which appears to be a combination of constraint by the theatrical censors and him really not being that devout), and B) may have had some Catholic sympathies, it's not terribly likely King James would have considered Shakespeare for it even if he was proficient in Greek and Hebrew enough to translate (which there's no evidence he was).
