What does this Latin document say?

Found an error in the family tree of a relative saying the mother was too young to give birth. Want to see if the birth document of the child has any clues as to who his parents are, and what special circumstances may have caused such a different looking record (post partem mater? what does that mean) Have attached a picture of the baptism.

    This record is in Latin. (see wiki for a word list)

    post partum means after birth and mater means mother (i.e. Catharina is the mother)

    It also says spurius, meaning illegitimate. (i.e. Guillielmus Franciscus is the illegitimate child of Jacobus)
