The inhabitants of the Blackfriars precinct petition against James Burbage's plan to build a new theatre. Noting that Burbage has recently bought the property with the intention of opening a new theatre, the inhabitants of the Blackfriars precinct raise the following objections: the theatre will attract lewd people to the precinct, who in turn will carry infection and sickness; the playhouse is too close to the church, and the noise of performance will disturb the parishioners.
