Could someone look at this document
and explain why the surname is different. it is clear that it looks like Posth. It doesn't look like Feyl or Feil. I see what the parents names are.

Posth. is an abbreviation for the latin Posthumus. This was sometimes entered to mean that the child was born after the father died.It is not the surname. Note that on all other records only the forenames of the child are listed in that column. The surname is only given in the column with the fathers name. In front of this fathers name is the abbreviation Weyl[and] meaning deceased.
