determining month and year baptism
In a previous request on this record the month and year where not determined so I am sending the page before and the page it is on (squeezed in the top left) of second image with hopes the month can be figured our. I am pretty sure the year is 1738. Thank you for whatever help you can provide. "21st of the previous month and year Catharina Margaretha....."

Hello @TrishAndersen,
After reviewing both images here are some things to consider:
(1) What was originally considered to read as "21st of the previous month and year" is more likely to be the page number "228". The page numbers are placed in the upper left and right corners of each page. The preceding pages in the the first image are "226" and "227", and the page following the page in question with your record of interest appears to be numbered "229".
(2) Then your record of interest actually reads: "Im vorriger monath u[nd] jahr Catharina Margretha . . ." = In the previous month and year Catharina Margretha . . .
(3) On the preceding page (page 227): record no. 29 is dated 3rd Sunday of Advent = 14 Dec 1738; and record no. 30 is dated the Sunday after Christmas = 28 December 1738. I do not see a date in record no. 31. Then your record appears at the top of page 228 and states that the baptism of Catharina Margretha occurred in the previous month and year. Since this is inserted at the top of the page where the baptismal records begin for the year 1739, I would interpret "Im vorriger monath u[nd] jahr" to mean December 1738 (with no specific date indicated).

Having reviewed your response and looking at the page numbers in the corners of these records, it makes sense to assume December 1738 as the date of baptism. Thank you for evaluating further.
