Help transcribing Please
Trying to get better at reading this script (working through the video course by Fritz)
Need help transcribing this birth / confirmation record from 1746.
Record is from Hillnhütten
I've put a star next to the record (#21)
Here is the link:

Hierhin wirdt aus seiner wichtigen ursache niedergeschrieben, daß
den 13. t. Merz haben Johann Henrich Schmidt u. Anna Christina Eheleüthe einen jungen Sohn tauffen laßen im Hauß, so gebohren den 11. t. ejusdem des morgens um 6. Uhr: Pathe ist Hermann Braun Vom Thalbruch aus dem Kirchspiel Müße, das Kindt aber ist genennd worden Johannes.

Thank you so much!
It seemed abnormal to write:
Could this mean the child died that same day? Any other reason this may have been written?
Thanks!

Yes, the note is unusual. I do not see a specific reason other than this record is "out of order" - it is a baptism in March that is entered first in between the April records. It seems to have been "forgotten". Note also that this is the only baptism that has the specification im Hauß (at home), the others happened probably in the church.
