Hello Kent,

Translation:

On the 7th of May [1692] Johann Christoph blessedly passed away, legitimately-conceived little son of the late Mr. Hannß Mathias Zeißloff, former mayor here, who on the following day was honestly buried. He lived 6 years and 19 days.

Comment: The verb used here to say the child died is: entschlafen, which literally translates as: fell asleep. So little Johann Christoph blessedly or blissfully fell asleep, a kinder, gentler way to say that he died.
