Clause 28 states:
No constable or other bailiff of ours is to take anyone's corn or other chattels, unless he pays cash for them immediately, or obtains respite of payment with the consent of the seller.
-------------------- modern meanng
No official of the King/Crown is allowed to take a person's property unless they pay for it up front or unless the person owning the property willingly takes a promissory note for later payment (eg a cheque).
-------------------- context
Before this the Crown/King could just seize a person's property and walk off with it without ever paying for it and there was nothing the person could do about it. With this measure the Crown was placing itself under a common law where the person could get justice.
