Translation Assistance Please
I am attempting to acquire some ability to read script and translate on my own. Would someone be so kind as to check and correct my attempt to translate this1693 burial record from Langenselbold for Johannes Lerch? The record is from Archion. Thank you so much!
My transcription attempt: Selb. den 17 Aug Thursday Ist Johannes Lerchs Krämer begraben word Seines altens 73 years etl monate
My translation attempt: Selb(old) Thursday the 17 Aug(ust) Johannes Lerch grocer (or small retailer) was buried His age was 73 years and a few months
