#3: The marriage date (in the left-hand column) for the entry above yours is listed as the "t" Feb 1778; in all the entries on this page, the day is not given, only the month (the day is just listed as "t" or "ten," both endings for ordinal numbers such as third or ninth, but without the actual numbers listed). In the right-hand column, the proclamation dates are listed: D. Palm. e and Fer: II Pasch, which in 1778 would be 12 April and 20 April. By the way, the groom's surname is listed as Cappe.
It seems that, rather than the marriage date/month for entry 2 being true for entries 3 and 4 as well, the marriage date/month was left off.
Take a look at the following proclamation dates:
Entry 2: D. Septuag and Sexug. = Sundays 15 Feb and 22 Feb
Entry 3: D. Palm and Fer. II Pasch. = Sunday 12 April and [Monday] 20 April
Entry 4: Trin. and D. I p. Trin. = Sundays 14 June and 21 June Entry 5:
D. VI and VII p. Trin. = Sundays 26 July and 2 Aug
The months in the marriage/left-hand column don’t line up with the proclamation dates in the right-hand column, so it seems the priest just put the couples into the book in an arbitrary manner, maybe when they informed him they intended to marry. It’s possible that there’s another marriage book or that they were even married elsewhere.

In the marriage record, the groom (Johann Hinrich Cappe) is listed as a widower. He is also listed as being in Rodewald, so it's possible that he and his wife ended up living there instead of in Dudensen (I didn't find any children listed for them in Dudensen).
The bride (Wilhelmine Cathrine Maria Louise Kahle) is listed as the daughter of the local Cord Henje Kahle; there's a death record for a Cord Henje Kahle, age 58 years, on 18 April 1780; see http://www.archion.de/p/ecb0526c4f/
