Need additional info from this birth record

Film #101890992, Image #127, top entry on right hand page.

This is an illegitimate birth record from the town of Sievern, Lehe, Hannover, Germany. I can get most of the information, but need a little help reading between the lines. Here's what I can get from it. I don't see anything regarding who the father is. What else might I learn from this entry?

—

Baptism date: 8 April 1788

Residence: Sievern

1) To Gretge Wiechmanns, legitimate daughter of (Voll Baus ???) Hinrich Wiechmanns, an illegitimate little daughter was born on the 6th of April, named Veronica Regina.

Godparents — anything interesting or helpful in there? A transcription might be helpful.

As for the record:

Your interpretation is completely correct, well done! The term/occupation "Voll Bau" MAY be a misspelling of "Voll Bauer" = farmer with a full-sized farm.

Here is a transcription of the following paragraphs. The last one names the alleged father:

Gevattern: Berend Harten(?), h.B.; Wilhelm des pensionierten Corporal Dieckmans ehelicher Sohn; Becke, des __ __ Ehefrau; Mayn Arend har? Hans Ehefrau; und Mayn _ons geb. Jürgens, alle aus Sievern.

Zum Vater dieses Kindes giebt Stuprata an Eibe Johann Allers des Johann Harre? Allers im Kirchspiel Dorum ehelicher Sohn. (As father of this child the ravished/impregnated woman names Johann Allers, legitimate son of Johann Harre? Allers in the parish of Dorum.)

As always reading the correct names is difficult without additional information.

Thank you very much Ulrich, especially for your help on he godparents part of this record. That is what I was most in need of. By the way, I did Google to find the instructions for how to attach images to a post, and I thought I followed that procedure. But I must have missed a step somewhere, because I don't see the images yet. Thanks again!

Imho: The godmothers are Beike's wife and Mayr Arend Harken's wife.
