The record

Transcription (German, as read)

"Christian Knoll, der Bürger und Metzgermeister, auch Gastwirth zum [rothen / gelben: one struck, one written above] [?], des gewesenen Gastwirths und Metzgermeisters Eckardt Knoll hinterlassener ältere Sohn, ... wurde mit Jungfer Eva[?] Barbara Fickentscherin, des Maler Meister Joh. Nicol Fickentscher von Oberkotzau einzigen Tochter, ledigen Standes, nach erhaltener gnädigster Dispensirung ohne Proclamation d. 21. Febr. ad Dom. Invocavit zu früh vor dem Gottesdienst copulirt."

[The inn's name not read. The bride's first name "Eva" or "Anna" (a large flourish). "Fickentscher" written twice, once struck out. "Eckardt" doubtful.] The text after "und der ... Wittwe" (a line naming "Joh. Christoph Hau[?]d[?] ... allhier" and "ältern Stief[sohn?]", which seems to make Christian the elder stepson of a Johann Christoph [surname not read]) is UNVERIFIED: not fully read on the image.

English translation

Christian Knoll, citizen and master butcher, also innkeeper at the [Red / Yellow ...] [?], elder surviving son of the late innkeeper and master butcher Eckardt [doubtful] Knoll, ... was married to the maiden Eva [?] Barbara Fickentscher, only daughter of the master painter Johann Nicol Fickentscher of Oberkotzau, single, after a most gracious dispensation without proclamation, on 21 February, Invocavit Sunday, early before the service. [A further line, apparently naming him the elder stepson of a Johann Christoph (surname not read): UNVERIFIED.]

Notes

Earlier readings "Anna Barbara Fi[..]" and "after proclamation" were corrected on the re-read. Not the tailor Christian David Knoll, whose wife in 1790–1798 was Maria Catharina of Schwarzenbach an der Saale: carried as two men. Kinship to the tailor's family: POSSIBLE (Georg's trade of butcher and "Herberger" in 1830 matches; reasoning only). No other Knoll entry in the first lines of October 1784 – March 1791 (Bild 100–112; body lines not all read). Image to save: Bild 109, right page, no. 1 (1790).

Christoph [Hüß?-stand? Hüttner?] … hinterlassener [älterer] Stiefsohn, wurde mit Jungfer Anna Barbara Fickentscher [Fickentscherin], des Malermeisters Joh. Nicol Fickentscher von Oberkotzau einzigen Tochter, ledigen Standes, nach hohen gnädigen Regierungs-Befehl [?], ohne Proclamation d. 21. Febr. ad Dom: Invocavit, zu früh vor dem Gottesdienst copuliert." 21 February 1790 was Invocavit Sunday. The stepson line, UNVERIFIED before, is now read except the surname; the bride's forename reads Anna here against "Eva [?]" (equal tier, collateral: Eva [?] kept, Anna logged as an alternative; F251).
