a couple of words and meaning of 1672 Alsace death record
Entry #8 on upper left page.
Couldn't figure out a couple of words, and not sure the meaning is captured correctly for this 1672 death record in Alsace. I would appreciate suggestions! Thanks!

This is a tough nut to crack. The first word might be Tagmann, synonymous to Tagelöhner or Tagner (dayworker). I found it only in a dictionary of Swiss words ( ).
My additions to the second sentence (the end of it is still unclear to me):
Sonst aber ein fast grobes holtz, so daß gar geringe Intention, warer und echt(er?) Inbrünstigkeit beÿ administ. 5. E.VersEnkbe worden.Translation:
Otherwise, however, an almost coarse fellow, so that only little attention, true and genuine ardor at the ___? (I believe the end refers to his burial)Note that "ein grobes Holz" is a pictorial description for a rough or rude person.
