Further interpretation (March 2008) of the old German script by Mr. Philippe Brachet of Strasbourg, France:

1713
H. Christian Mercklin, Burger
Wagnermeister und Vorsteher der Evangelischen Lutherischen Gemeinde cum uxore Anna Catharina liessen den 14ten May 1713 ein Tochterlein tauffen, Gevattern waren: Hans Georg... Schnau cum uxore Maria Margarethe Burger und (Gerichtsmann?) zu Lambsheim, das Kind heisst: Maria Catharina.

Translation to English (a combination from the efforts of both gentlemen):

1713
(Hans) Christian Mercklin, citizen and master cartwright*, and abbot of the Evangelical Lutheran Community, with wife Anna Catharina, on the 14 of May 1713, a little daughter baptized, godparents were Hans Georg Schnau with wife Maria Margarethe, citizen (and municipal magistrate ?), of Lambsheim. The child is called Maria Catharina.

*cartwright = wagon/coach maker/repairer
