Translation (English)

17 April [1695]: [Christian] Ludwig; father Wilhelm Brefsner; mother E. Hedwig Bo[de?]. Godfather Ludwig Küster, mill[er or master miller].

Notes

The trade word begins "Müll"; the ending is not safe. It agrees with the Mühlmeister of 1686 (F236). Grade: STATED for the godfather; PROBABLE that he is the miller Ludewig Küster.
