Pulton is best known for his respected abridgements An Abstract of all the Penal Statutes Which are General (1560) and A Kalendar or Table of All the Statutes (1606). De Pace Regis et Regni took his earlier works as the starting point for a comprehensive overview of criminal law. Holdsworth, who holds this work in high regard, observes that it was only the second title devoted to the subject. The first, Staunford's Les Plees del Coron, was published posthumously in 1560. Holdsworth adds that a comparison between Pulton and (the less comprehensive) Staunford "enables us to appreciate the effect of the additions to and alterations of the criminal law made during this peri.

As a Catholic Pulton was not allowed to practice, so, supported by his vast personal fortune, he devoted his energies to editing statutes, which he did with great skill and industry. First published 1618, his Collection of Sundry Statutes was, as Holdsworth notes, "an advance upon all former editions of the statutes. [It] set a new standard to the makers of these editions, to which subsequent editors made at least an attempt to conform." The final edition of this work appeared in 1670.
