The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

A covenant which is conversant about some collateral thing that doth nothing at all, or riot so immediately concern the thing granted; as to pay a sum of money in gross, etc.

Shep. Touch. 161.

COVENANT FOR FURTHER ASSURance. One by which the covenantor undertakes to do such reasonable acts in addition to those already performed as may be necessary for the completion of the transfer made, or intended to be made, at the requirement of the covenantee. It relates both to the title of the vendor and to the instrument of conveyance to the vendee, and operates as well to secure the performance of all acts for suppljring any defect in the former, as to remove all objections to the sufficiency and security of the latter.
