hereditaments belonged, or, in cases of leases for fines, to certify that the
lessees, their heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, shall hold so
exonerated and discharged, without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the
Crown against the reversion of the lands, tenements, or hereditaments
comprised in any such leases, and the rents and covenants reserved and
contained by and in the same; and thereupon the same lands, tenements, or
