The OED says "stock of well-penn'd plays is from Marston, Scourge of
Villainy, 1598.

I tried various forms of "miming and jigging" in the Google Search
Engine, OED, and various Chadwyck Healy databases to no avail.

| --Shakespeare's "stock of well-penned plays" (did some contemporary
| playwright allude to Shakespeare's work using this phrase?)

This phrase is from John Marston's satire X, "The Scourge of Villainy"
(1598):

I set thy lips abroach, from whence doth flow
Naught but pure Juliet and Romeo.
Say, who acts best? Drusus, or Roscio?
Now I have him, that ne'er of aught did speak
But when of plays or Players he did treat.
H'ath made a common-place book out of plays,
And speaks in print, at least what e'er he says
Is warranted by Curtain plaudities.
If e're you heard him courting Lesbia's eyes;
Say, (Courteous Sir) speaks he not movingly
>From out some new pathetic Tragedy?
He writes, he rails, he jests, he courts, what not,
And all from out his huge long scraped stock
Of well penned plays.
