Hi Martha!
Here is my attempt at deciphering this entry:

Words within parenthesis () are words that i am unsure about. (Meaning or transcription) Words within brackets [] are abbreviated words written out in full length.
It says that Anders Gudmundsson was Per Brahes shot for three years. Per Brahe was the riksdrots; he held a highly placed judiciary position. He was the church usher in Frinnaryd for 3 years. For some years he was a sexman. One of six men from the parish who were elected to make decisions mostly regarding the church and buildings surrounding it. He was twice elected as a meber of parliament (herredagsman). It seems as though he sent a letter to the king with a request(that was granted) that the clergy house be spared during the reduction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_(Sweden)
