Hello @Don Kolle,
As written in column 2, the child's surname appears to be: Teÿfferth.
However, the father's surname in column 3 is: Seÿfferth.
The third baptismal sponsor's surname in column 7 is: Seÿfferth.
I did an exact surname search limiting it to Germany on Ancestry and got the following results:
Seÿfferth: 2,908 examples
Teÿfferth: 5 examples.
The surname is likely to be Seÿfferth but you'll need to keep an open mind until you find additional records, such as the father's marriage record, which confirm the spelling.

I see it as Seÿfferth; the "S" is clearer in the writing of the fathers surname.
If you look at record #57 on image 713 you can see the "S" in Schmidt is written in the same way.
