Good morning Kent,
Translation:
On the 10th of November [1696], after holding a wedding sermon, were married Johann Martin, legitimate son of the late Johann Mattheiß Schollen, former lawyer, and Anna Margaretha, legitimate daughter of Johann Christoph Weÿdmann, lawyer.
Alternative translation moving the verb to the end:
On the 10th of November [1696], after holding a wedding sermon, Johann Martin, legitimate son of the late Johann Mattheiß Schollen, former lawyer, and Anna Margaretha, legitimate daughter of Johann Christoph Weÿdmann, lawyer, were married.
My comments: The first translation follows the word order in the record more closely. The second translation sounds "better" to our English ears.
Which do you prefer?
