Hello Kent,

Translation:

On the 13th of October [1764], at night after ? o'clock born and on the 15th [of October 1764] baptized: Jacob Friderich Raber.

Parents: Jeremias Raber, the local citizen and master cooper, and his wife Maria Catharina, née Weickin.

Baptismal sponsors: Mattheis Scholl, the local citizen and master tailor, [and] his wife Margaretha, née Zimmermännin. Christina Margaretha Munckin, surviving legitimate unmarried daughter of the late Wendel Munck, former citizen here.

Right column: + [died].

Lower left corner: Quarterly report.

My comment: It's difficult to determine if the final baptismal sponsor's forenames are: Christina Margaretha; Margaretha Christina; or simply Margaretha with Christina struck-through.

Robert Seal_1 Perfection!!!! Well, as usual, you sparked a question in my mind. Who is this single young lady. So I found Margaretha death record. She died later in this same year 8 Dec. And you you will have to see to believe but in her death record pastor Sebastian Aepinus, did exactly the same thing: Christina struck-through. So I believe he mistakenly thought it was Christina but in actuality, after some thought or correction by a family member he crossed it out and wrote Margaretha. Thanks for this little adventure. KG

You're welcome, Kent, and thanks for sharing the additional information about Margaretha Munck. I edited my original response to show that "Christina" has been struck-through.
