a couple of small words in a 1639 Alsace marriage record
This 1639 marriage record is fairly straightforward, but I am missing a few of the small words bolded below. Do you agree the date number is 28 May — it fits according to the calendar that year. Word query #2 and first part of #3 could be a further abbreviated 'seel.' for deceased? Hanß Roth is described as 'der lachen' which has been queried in one of my other questions. Perhaps it relates to 'cover' maker like in stullachen ( )? Thanks!

I think #1 is "uff", a dialectal form for "auf". #2 and #3 look the same, but I am not really convinced that it is an abbreviation for seelig (se. would be a strange abbreviation and the position in the sentence seems not to fit). Unfortunately, I can't offer another interpretation either.
Regarding Hans Roth the epithet is "uff/auf der Lachen" which sounds to me like a location or a name specification, not an occupation.

Thanks @Ulrich Neitzel, that helps. I'm still not clear if 'Lachen' could refer to a location since there are no lakes or other water bodies in the area of Lampertheim, Alsace. It would be a funny name for an Inn or farm or something like that. Will keep exploring possible explanations!
