Looks like phe, but that doesn't seem to make sense.

I know nothing about Welsh or Wales, but from what I can find Phe was a common early abbreviation of the name Philip.

I think Alexander is correct. A few pages further back in the same register, on 6 November 1609, there is a baptism for ...

     Willia(m) the sonne of Philippe Willia(m) Nicolas

In the extract shown above, the missing word after Anno is an abbreviated predicto (meaning 'in the aforesaid year').

Marvelous,
that all makes sense, I think I can fit it in now, and the baptism that Bookbox found.
Thanks very much everyone.
Rob.
