Transcription (German)

[Curd?] Kersten [Christen?] von Linse ein Möller, de quo supra Ao 1595 sub numero 182, welcher dieser vergangenen Ostern Weib und Geld bekommen … Hochzeit gehalten … mit Curd Langen hinterlassenen Witwen … stirbt am Blutgange und wird den 17 Augusti Ao 1599 … begraben.

Translation (English)

[Curd?] Kersten of Linse, a miller, of whom above in 1595 under no. 182, who this past Easter got a wife and money … held his wedding … with the widow of Curd Langen … died of dysentery and was buried on 17 August 1599.

Notes

The forename doubtful. The register itself refers back to the 1595 entry of Heinrich Kersten's killing; with the margin of that entry ("Ao 1599 bekommt Kersten wieder …") he is probably the man of the killing, not the victim.

Addendum: F447 (2).

Grade: Stated (draft read); the link probable.

*Conventions: [ ] editorial addition; [?] uncertain reading; [..] or […] illegible or outside the crop; dates as the register gives them (Julian before 1700).
