Note 443 — MAGNA CARTA.

Reading edition

Henry’s reissues make two small additions explaining certain points of detail: (a) the words “et ipse debitor paratus sit inde satisfacere” precede the clause giving sureties exemption; and (b) the sureties are declared liable to distraint, not merely when the chief debtor has nothing, but also when he can pay, but will not, “aut reddere nolit cum possit.”

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
