1776 Marriage record in Latin
1776 Marriage record for Eva Maria Röller in Billigheim, Pfalz.
One of my Calvinist crowd married a Catholic, so my first attempt at a Latin church record. I think I figured it out except for the circled word, which should mean something like 'after'. Would appreciate a quick check to see if I am on the right track. Thanks!

I took latin in high school in about 1776. I suspect the scribe meant to write "priora" and accidentally reversed the "i" and "o". But I might have forgotten some of my learning.

I read the third and fourth letters of the circled word as the digraph œ or the digraph æ, which would make the word either prœira or præira -- perhaps this will help you determine what this word means in this context.

@Tom Randolph The translation is correct. There are a few nominative and genitive case endings in the text that I have added to your transcription:
"Die nona mensis Septembris anno Domini millesimo Septigentesimo Septuagesimo sexto praeira trinâ denunciatione, nulloqs detecto impedimento matrimonium in facie Ecclesiae contraxerunt Joannes Adamus Josephi Reis et Christinae natae Kölschin Conjugum in Queichheim filius legitimus Religionis Catholicae, et Eva Maria, Philippi Jacobi Röller et Annae Mariae natae Manzin Conjugum in Mühlhofen filia Religionis Calvinianae, testes huic matrimonio adstiterunt Franciscus Kunz et Franciscus Barth ambo cives in Mühlhofen ita testor. Hermannus Joannes Wehl, P. t. parochus"

The word in question is prævia, almost the same as in English: previous or prior.
