Horgen 1589 Felix Landis baptism June 1 Horgen FS records p 205
Second document down page:
This appears to be a very difficult translation. No problem on this end if it is. This is the father of Hans Landis b 1630.

Junius (1589)
Vff den 1. Brachmonat (= June) ward getauft Felix, Hansen Landÿs vnd Margareth Hochstraserin [son??]. Zügen warend Felix Balier(?) vnd Barbeli Rÿtter.
Note that often a V was written where we would write U today (I guess I will often have transcribed as U in previous cases).
I am lost with the witnesses name - can't find anything similar today. Barbeli will be Barbara Hochstrasser.

WSeelentag Thanks Wolf: This is certainly one of the more interesting families I have researched. After Felix died and his wife punished:"Meantime the authorities ruthlessly dispersed her family, drove the children among strangers, and then confiscated her house and furniture and sold them for 5000 florins."
The religious intolerance at the time is depressing.
I'm not sure if we have left anything undone for this family. Do you have any suggestions before we move on? One thing I'm uneasy about is that Maria and Anna Landis, were both born in 1633 according to family trees I have seen. In the 1633 Bevölkerungsverzeichnis it only mentions Maria and yet Anna married and had a family. That could be worth looking at. It is also possible the family tree is wrong.
Thanks for working with me on these records.

You would need to search for the baptismal entries: if Maria was born early 1633 she would have just "made it" for the 1633 list - if Anna was born late 1633, this could have been after the list was compiled … but she should show up in 1637 or later.

Found:
1633 Anna Landis baptism 15 Jan Hirzel record page 20
1635 Hans Heinrich Landis baptism 1 Feb Hirzel record page 22
No Maria found from Hans Landis b 1630 to Han Heinrich.
No idea why Maria is noted as 1 year old in the 1633 Bevölkerungsverzeichnis.
