Petyt was born at Storiths, Bolton Abbey, and educated at Ermysted"s Grammar School, Skipton and Christ"s College, Cambridge.
He was admitted to the Middle Temple but was later associated with the Inner Temple. Petyt was Keeper of the Records in the Tower of London, replacing in that position Robert Brady who had made a very effective attack for the Tories on Petyt"son Petyt was attacked also from his own side, the Whigs, by Thomas Hunt.
Petyt wrote against the separation of powers, and in favour of Parliament"s control of the judiciary.
Influential in its time, in particular on John Locke, was a version of "ancient constitutionalism" propounded in the writings of John Sadler, James Tyrrell and Petyt. Modern verdicts on Petyt as a historian have been harsh.
David C. Douglas comments that he and William Atwood, though distinguished jurists, "took what was worst" from the earlier works of their century on constitutional history. J. H. Plumb wrote that it was hard not convict Petyt, "not only of error, but also of deceit".
