This is pretty self explanatory.
Hans Hug, occupation is a smith, from Ottenbach, and Elsbetha Berzli from Ottenbach.
You know all of this information without even asking. Have a nice day.

Just a word of caution: Hans Hug may have been a smith - but this was not necessarily the case. Note that it doesn't say "Schmid" but "Schmids" - this is the line's "nickname" (Übername) to help identify the groom. This nickname certainly indicates that at least one ancestor had been a smith - and professions often were handed on to sons - but this was not always the case.
Note also that with just one exception (Chir. for Chirurgus, something special) professions were not mentioned for the grooms - but more identifications like "Altlis", "im Tobel", "Clausen Kilchmeyers Sohn" or "Schulmeisters Sohn".

Looking once more at this page from the marriage register, I feel the pastors were somewhat inconsistent with the spelling of surnames. On 25.01.1701 (#2) we have as bride Elsbetha Ber?lin - not sure what letter that should be between r and l … doesn't really look like a "German z" - but have no better suggestion. Two entries down (#4) we find that spelling again - for the groom. On 06.12.1698 we first have a Hans Jogel (=Jacob) Berlin (female form?) and then (same day) Jogel Huug/Haug(?) "Schmids" (likely a brother of Hans), married to another Lißabeth Berlin. We just have to keep in mind that spelling wasn't fixed then - the most common version (and also the spelling today) would be Berli. There are several marriages with Beerli in EDB - but they almost completely originated from a region today belonging to canton St.Gallen (parishes then ruled by Zürich).
Be careful: we have two grooms Hug on that page (Jogel and Hans, likely brothers), both getting married to an Elisbeth Berli - shouldn't get mixed up.
I have summarized the data known to me on Hans Hug (1670-1742) oo Elisabetha Berli.

WSeelentag I have no idea how you get so much done and so well arranged and organized. It is a blessing to me. So, do you know any Berli descendants in your area? Thanks

I don''t think it says anything about being illegitimate but here is the birth of Hans and Elisabetha's first child:
