Dobfarm, it's unlikley to be Repealed. The letter l is looped in his writing (as was the general habit of the time).
PeasePudding, as you said, we have Repeated in the first and Reputed in the second of your recent extracts.
This confirms Repeated is the word in the original.
I still think it is a pun on Reputed. Even if you don't find earlier base children, perhaps he used Reputed when the child was the result of a single clandestine event (known only to the participants) and Repeated when it came from a couple whose licentious behaviour was constant and known to everyone for miles around.
