Fenwick had told him also that he need not fear to lose his trade in the case of civil war, for he should have plenty of work to do in making church ornaments.^ These stories were again retailed at the trials of Langhorn and Wakeman.^ When he was summoned as a witness against Lord Stafford he could say no more than that one Singleton, a priest, had told him " that he would make no more to stab forty parliament men than to eat his dinner. " ^ Much of his evidence about the Plot was so ludicrous ...that it could never be brought into court at all. Four men were to kill the Earl of Shaftesbury and went continually with pistols in their pockets. One Bradshaw, an upholsterer, had said openly in a tavern that it was no more sin to kill a Protestant than to kill a dog, and that " he was resolved to kill some of the busy lords. " It was the commonest talk among Roman Catholics that the king and Lord Shaftesbury were to be murdered. It was equally an ordinary subject of conversation that a great army was to be raised for the extirpation of heretics.
