I hope you don't mind a stupid question.....

In the church records, what do the words Sepeut and Desponsat mean?
I have added an example in case I spelled the words wrong.
Here http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=16542&idx_id=16542&uid=ny&idx_side=-99

some examples are on the left hand page.

I have tried to look these words up with no success.

Thanks for any help.
