A collection in English, of the statutes now in force, continued from the beginning of Magna Charta, made in the 9. yeere of the reigne of King H. 3. vntill the ende of the Parliament holden in the 35. yeere of the reigne of our gratious Queene Elizabeth, vnder titles placed by order of alphabet

wherein is perfourmed (touching the statutes wherewith iustices of the peace haue to deale) so much as was promised in the booke of their office lately published. For which purpose also the statutes concerning those iustices haue this marke [pointing hand] at the beginning, and this marke * at the ende of them, noted in the margent ouer against the same. Hereunto is added two tables: the one at the beginning of the booke, declaring vnder titles by order of alphabet the substance of such referments as stood at the ende of eche title in the first Collection of statutes, set forth by Master Iustice Rastal. And in this table, the title of the iustices of the peace is specially perused and amended, for their more easie finding of matters in this booke, concerning their authoritie. In the other table (being at the ende of this booke) are set downe by order of the Kings reignes, the seuerall times of their Parliaments, together with the sundry chapters and intitulings of the particular statutes in euery of the same: whereby the reader may easily finde vnder what title, and in what leafe of this booke, any of these statutes be placed: and may also (by helpe of certaine hands prefixed to diuers of them) readily see, what, and how many statutes in eche kings reigne, doe concerne the iustices of peace, and in what leafe of this booke to finde them
