Help needed with names on 1664 birth record from Dorsten
The record is found at number 66. Sorry, for some reason, I cannot seem to upload a copy of just this record.
It is the birth record of Catharina Schulten, daughter of Gerlaci (?) Schulten. I cannot make out the next line which I hope is the others name. Next line is Agatha Schulten, and no idea on the last! Any help would be appreciated!

Hello @RayLudenia1,
Note that this record is from the year 1630, not 1664.
Actually, it's much better for the translator if you post the link (as you did) for the entire page rather than a snippet of just the record. It allows the translator to compare the handwriting with other records on the image and to see the record in context.
What you are referring to as the last line of the record ("no idea on the last!") is actually the date for the next record.
Here is what I read:
Number 66.
Third Sunday of Advent in the year 1630.
Catharina, daughter of Gerlaci [Gerlach] Schulten.
Berndt Klanderman.
Agatha Schulten.
My comment: The Catholic Church in Germany was using the Gregorian calendar in 1630. The third Sunday of Advent in 1630 would be: 15 December 1630.
Note that this is a baptismal record and the date is for the baptism, not the child's birth.

Another brilliant effort Robert! No idea where I got the year 1664 from, obviously wrote too late in the evening. Many thanks for your work
