Translation Help Please
This is a 1728 baptism record for Niclaus Lerch from the Langenselbold Church Book. I have some of it transcribed but a few words don't make sense to me. Help with the missing words in the transcription and a translation would be much appreciated. Thank you. Cynthia McClanahan Cruz

You did well with the transcription! Here are my edits and additions:
Selb: filius D[en] 28t[en]. 9br: ☉ liessen Caspar Lörch U: Anna Margretha, Ehle[ute]: ein Söhnl[ein] Niclaus tauffen, d[er] gevatter war Niclaus Wacker, d[er] Junge Burgmüller.
Translation:
Selb[old]: a boy. On Sunday the 28 November, Caspar Lörch and Anna Margretha, married couple, let baptize a little son Niclaus, the sponsor was Niclaus Wacker, the young miller ("Burgmüller").
Not sure what Burgmüller means here, it may be the name of the mill.

Thank you, again, Ulrich Neitzel! I should have caught "Anna." Now it is as clear as day! I saw the line above the "n" but the ink blob fooled me.
