With characteristic hubris, Surrey has fashioned himself as God’s agent on earth. He is the vigilante-prophet sent out with his stonebow to warn the citizens of the ‘fearful thunder clap’ and ‘dreadful plague’ at hand if God’s wrath is not assuaged:

In loathsome vice each drunken wight

To stir to God, this was my mind.

‘Thy windows,’ he tells the city, ‘had done me no spite’,

But proud people that dread no fall,

Clothed with falsehood and unright

Bred in the closures of thy wall.
