In a response to the archpriest of England's prohibition against public playgoing for Catholic clergy, Father Thomas Leke defends the practice of attending the public theatres on philosophical and practical grounds. He contends that 'most of the principal Catholicks about London doe goe to playes' and that 'I sometimes goe, and [am] not scandalised.'
