Good morning @Kent Gardiner,
Translation:
On the 26th of August 1756, a little daughter of Matthias Scholl, the citizen, tailor, and temporary "procurator", from his wife Margaretha, in the morning early at 4:00 am was born to the world, so thereafter was baptized and was named Maria Catharina. Baptismal sponsors are Israel Stuz, citizen and farmer, with his wife; Jeremias Raber, an unmarried cooper, surviving son, and betrothed man, of the late Michael Raber, citizen and cooper; and Maria Cathar[ina], unmarried daughter, [and betrothed woman with [Jeremias] Raber, of Jo[hann] Simon Cammerer, citizen and farmer.
Comments: This record is from August 1756. Sure enough, the betrothed Jeremias Raber and the betrothed Maria Catharina Cammerer married five months later in late January 1757: https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/1812633:61060?tid=&pid=&queryId=2c2e0d0d9e020b88d3940e890159af95&_phsrc=VlI585&_phstart=successSource

Robert, Yes I thought the word was procurator but wasn't positive. I have another Scholl who was a procurator so i knew the general meaning. However your links and research bring more depth to what this really means. I already knew Matthias was a tailor but had no idea he was a temporary procurator. Great find. Thanks, KG
