wherefore, at the request of certain magnates the king has caused his hand

that if the prebend is recovered against John by the cardinal, he shall
answer for the profit for the time that he held it and the recognisance

then the king grants that he will defend John from damage in the matter
and that no execution shall be made upon the recognisance until the king is
duly informed that the cardinal has recovered the prebend and if John does
not then satisfy the king for the fruits of the prebend occupied by him in
the meantime, he grants that the recognisance shall remain in force.
