[Originally _motion_].
I.iii.6 (375,9) As in these cases where they aim reports] [W: the aim]
The folio has,
--_the_ aim reports.
But, _they aim reports_, has a sense sufficiently easy and commodious.
There men _report_ not by certain knowledge, but by _aim _and
conjecture.
I.ii.18 (375,1) By no assay of reason] Bring it to the _test_, examine
it by reason as we examine metals by the _assay_, it will be found
counterfeit by all trials.
I.iii.23 (376,2) facile question] _Question_ is for the _act of
seeking_. With more _easy endeavour_.
I.iii.24 (376,4) warlike brace] State of defence. To arm was called to
_brace on_ the armour.
I.iii.42 (376,5) And prays you to believe him] The late learned and
ingenious Mr. Thomas Clark, of Lincoln's Inn, read the passage thus:
_And prays you to_ relieve _him_.
But the present reading may stand. _He intreats you not to doubt the
truth of this intelligence_.
I.iii.54 (377,6) Hath rais'd me from my bed; nor doth the general care]
The word _care_, which encumbers the verse, was probably added by the
players. Shakespeare uses _the general_ as a substantive, though, I
think, not in this sense.
I.iii.69 (373,8) though our proper son/Stood in your action] Were the
man exposed to your _charge_ or _accusation_.
I.iii.80 (378,9) The very head and front of my offending] The _main_,
the _whole_, unextenuated.
