Note 300 — ACT I., SCENE I.
Reading edition
Motion is a puppet. In Ben Jonson's "Every Man out of his Humour," act iv. sc. 5, Captain Pod, the celebrated owner of a puppet-show, and his motion, are mentioned.
Again, in Beaumont and Fletcher's "Rule a Wife and have a Wife," act ii.—
"If he be that motion that you tell me of, And make no more noise, I shall entertain him."
In "The Queen of Corinth," by the same, act i. sc. 3—
"Good friends, for half an hour remove your motion;"
and in Dekker's "Villanies Discovered by Lanthorne and Candle-light," 1620, ch. iv.: "This labour being taken, the master of the motion hearkens where such a nobleman, &c. The motion is presented before him."
