Brooke asks Egerton to discharge him and his sureties of their recognisance of £1100. He indicates that he has written a confession of his offence against the canon laws for his part in John Donne's marriage and hopes for release from the Marshalsea. Brooke insists he was unaware of both Sir George More's importance and relationship with Egerton.
