The lord mayor responds to the earl of Warwick's complaint that the mayor has not granted Warwick's servant, John David, a license to play his provost's prize [in fencing] at the Bull. The lord mayor explains that he was reluctant to have the match at a place so close to the city, where there might be danger of infection. He observes, however, that he has given David permission to play his prize at the Theatre, or another 'open place out of the City.'
