Legit- child of Mr. Robinson & wife. Spons - Mr. Hans Danners,David Rumpfer Elizabeth Rothig -- according to the rules of the Church of England & Book of Common Prayer

Comment Joop:

Here, clearly, a character mistake was made by the Rev. himself, the family name is Robinson
Rumpfer = Rumph(s); Rothig = Roth(in)
rules = uses
Here we find the reason for the lack of names for the mother's involved, I think. The registration of the Baptism beginning with this date was the first one, where the Rev. uses the term "and his wife", all records, before this one, the mother's name and even her maiden name is mentioned. It looks like "according to the uses of the Church of England, and the Forms in the common Prayer Book" deprives us of this information in the following records.

It seems like all English oriented names/months/statements are in blockletters
