On the morning of the 11th of May [1732], on Cantate Sunday [the fourth Sunday after Easter], between 9 and 10 o’clock, Maria Catharina, legitimate little daughter of Andreas Lather, citizen and baker here, and Elisabetha Catharina née Daub, and on the following night between 12 and 1 o’clock, [on account of poor health?], was baptized in the house out of necessity. Anna Catharina, the child’s grandmother and the surviving widow of the late Friedrich Daub, was the sponsor.

I could not read one phrase in the document, but I believe it says “on account of poor health” or something similar. The child was baptized at home “out of necessity”, probably because the family was worried that the child might not survive. In fact, the child died a year later; the fact of her death is indicated by a cross in the margin of the record.
