Help with deciphering please

[meeganf]

Hi there
Could anyone help me please with this bap for Patience SPICER dau of John and Jone (John is also the Rector) Transcription says 8 Aug 1591. I can sort of decipher Patience in the middle of a line of baptisms 1591 line 2 and after the number 13.

Does it just says "Patience Spicer ... daughter of John" ?

Thanks a lot
Meegan

I read it as

.....Patience Spicer the daughter of John
Spicer Clerck was baptised August 8 ………

Thanks Barbara - I couldn't pick August or 8 out of that.
Wonder if he would have been "clerck" if he was the Rector, his name (or a John Spicer) is written at the bottom of the page as Minister - have attached.

Perhaps it could be Patience's grandfather who was the minister and her father a clerk? Haven't ventured that far back!
Thanks a lot

Does it begin born June 13th?

Hi meegan the term Clerk meant a clergyman.

Jennifer - the baptisms aren't allocated one line each, they follow on from each other.

The 1st line and beginning of the 2nd line read (I think)

Agnes Fissher the daughter of Richard Fissher hus[andman] was bapti
sed  June 13 Patience Spicer…….

Hi
Thanks so much Jennifer and Barbara

Knowing that clerk means clergyman is also a great help as there are some more in the family
Cheers
