Hello @brother Barry,
Translation:
Heading at the top of the left-hand page:
On Septuagesima Sunday 1620 [16 February 1620] two children were baptized.The heading above your specific record no. 6 is Dass ander = The other = the other child baptized that same day.
6. Balthasar Brombacher, cooper, and his wife Cath[arina] Kieffer.
Clauss.
Catharina Warzag___? ________________? at Basel [Switzerland].
Gertrud Harscher, also from Basel.
Ambrosius [no surname recorded], a knifesmith.
Hanns Meÿer from here.My comments: Septuagesima Sunday is the 9th Sunday before Easter. Baden adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1583; hence I used the Gregorian calendar to determine the date of Septuagesima Sunday in 1620, which was 16 February 1620. Keep in mind this is Clauss's baptism date not his birth date.
I presume the last four people named are the godparents/baptismal sponsors.
