Assenheim, Hessen - marriage in 1759 - Ehwald & Hofmann - transcription help
I found the marriage entry, and Susanne Agatha Hofmann did marry Johannes Ehwald who she named as the father of her child Catharina Maria (born 9 months before their wedding). In the baptismal entry of Catharina Maria, the mother's name is "Anna" Agatha Hofmann and I assume that is short for "Susanne" as it is written in the marriage entry above?
Question: As was mentioned in my previous post about the baptism of the child in 1759, "Since Catharina Maria was born illegitimate she would not have had the name 'Ehwald' from birth". I assume then that the later marriage of Johannes Ehwald and Susanne Agatha Hofmann legitimized Catharina Maria, which confirms that she is very likely the Cathar. Marie "Ehwaldin" who marries Johann Jacob Kopp in 1775 in Assenheim (the image is attached in my previous post - entry #2)?
I would appreciate a bit of help to transcribe the last few words of the marriage entry and a translation. The second image is the full page and the entry is below number 4.

Comment:
The Latin phrase means: "after previous private church penance", because of the premarital intercourse.
Yes, I agree that these are the parents of Catharina Maria (although Anna is not the short form of Susanna). There might not be a formal legitimization document for her, but it was common practice in such a case that the child later used the name of the father/husband of the mother.

Didn't realize the phase is in Latin, which threw me off. I have heard before, that penance could be required prior to the marriage of a couple who had fornicated, but I have rarely seen this written in a marriage entry.
Thank you very much, @Ulrich Neitzel for the transcription help and explanation about Catharina Maria's maiden name which confirms her parents!
