Hi all,
I'd really appreciate some help deciphering the first entry in the image attached. I really struggle reading this old form of writing.
Many thanks,
Ryan

In the margin it says Julye (= July) and gives the dates of the two baptisms in Arabic numerals (your one is 16).

* I don't know which parish this register is from. The name of the parish might be abbreviated.
