From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  REPRISES. The deductions and payments out of lands, annuities, and the like, 
  are called reprises, because they are taken back; when we speak of the clear 
  yearly value of an estate, we say it is worth so much a year ultra reprises, 
  besides all reprises. 
       2. In Pennsylvania, lands are not to be sold when the rents can pay the 
  encumbrances in seven years, beyond all reprises.
