The first line is: 3e Decemb Döptes Mattes Påhlsons barn i Wästerudh kallat Ericus
I.e Matts Pålson's in Wästerud child Eric was christened 3rd December


Then follow the godfathers (g.f.):
Simon Månson, Lars Hinderson, "dreng" Mattes Erson, Halfvard Månson
and the godmothers (g.m.):
wife Kierstin [no patronymic], wife Maritt Jönsdotter, Ellicka Ersdotter, Kierstin Påhlsdotter
all in Wästerud


If one looks up "dräng" in a Swedish-English dictionary it says "farm-hand, but that doesn't cover the full meaning of the word. It was used about a man working for another not only in farming.
