En is het nu 'suppete' or 'supete'?

Misschien het verstandigste om een historicus of nederlandicus te vragen. Gevoelsmatig zou ik iets van God of Heer, enz verwachten.

context An intestor is asked to make an oath in keeping with the 'name and soul' of the 'supete' in front of town councillors (probably before collecting his inheritance). (In Dutch original: 'in den naam and ziele van den supete'). Only 1 p, I know, but I am trying to trace the word to existing sound-alike words since the same 18th century text also contains some other Latin that I can understand. I admit that the word I am looking for is a noun but I asked for the nearest verb I could find on the Net in a 19th century text.

Could you give us the sentence in which this word occurs, and some context, please? It could simply be a typo, e.g. for "suppletie".
