I'm new to Dutch research so I need some help with what this record says about my ancestor. The record in question is the third from the bottom for Hendrik te Walvaert. THANKS!

As you are new to Dutch research, I suggest you take a look at the familysearch wiki.
On the record you see the following:
"Den 26 Dyt": the record was made on the 26th of the same month (that is April 1716, which you can see on the top of the page: "1716 den 19 April")
Next: "Hendrik te Walvaert V:" means that Hendrik was the Father (Vader) and "D Hermina" means Hermina was the daughter.
Finally, it mentions "Gosen Wissink", "Grijtjen Grijsen" and "Jenneken Ten Haegen", who were witnesses (Getuigen). Witnesses are often relatives, so it is very useful information.
That being said, the page you linked has already extracted all this information from the record, which is very useful.
