Does the first name of the Newbould child read Peter or Henry?

There is an entry in the Church Gresely parish register of an infant son born to George and Anne Newbould. I cannot tell whether the first name reads Henr. or Peter. Could someone with more skill in reading old church record decipher this for me. The link to the page/image is: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6PX9-JT3. The child was baptized 3 June 1632 and died on 5 June 1632. These days are included in the same entry.

 

Thanks!

Bart

    I'm seeing Peter. It looks quite similar to the Peter a few entries down, and it is very different from the Henri on the left page.

    It has been indexed as "Petre" (Peter) in Find My Past. Definitely not Henry (or variant), as the usual recording of a capital "H" is clearly illustrated further down the page.
