A covenant by a grantor in a deed "that the grantee shall have quiet possession of the said land," or a covenant of like import, shall have as much effect as if he had covenanted that the grantee, his heirs, personal representatives, and assigns, might at any and all times thereafter, peaceably and quietly enter upon, and have, hold and enjoy, the land conveyed by the deed, or intended so to be, with all the buildings thereon, and the privileges and appurtenances thereto belonging, and receive and take the rents and profits thereof, to and for his and their use and benefit, without any lawful eviction, interruption, suit, claim or demand whatever.
