DeepL translation:June (1589)
Felix, Hansen Landÿs and Margareth Hochstraserin [son??] were baptized on the 1st of June. Felix Balier(?) and Barbeli Rÿtter were the witnesses
Note that often a V was written where we would write U today (I guess I will often have transcribed as U in previous cases).
I am lost with the witnesses name - can't find anything similar today. Barbeli will be Barbara Hochstrasser.Felix Landis and Adelheid Egli's children:

2. Anna Landis b 15 Jan 1633 married Sep 26 1665 to Hans Heinrich Landis b 1632 (twin)

4. Felix Landis b 1637-1678
"Felix Landis (son of Hans, beheaded at Zürich, 1614) was a pious member of the church of Horgerberg. For this he was committed to Othenbach, and treated with shameful rigor, often receiving no food. His digestive organs became so impaired through protracted fasting, that his stomach refused to retain food, and he accordingly prepared himself for death. In this state he was carried by the persecutors to church during the sermon, where he was brutally "thrown under a bench," and when he immediately expired. "His wife, Adelheyd Egli, was also kept in durance in Othenbach (Ottenbach) nearly four years. During this period they treated her not only unmercifully, but disgracefully; they threw her into several offensive places, stripped her twice in irons, and for a time took her clothes from her every night, etc."* She escaped afterward from prison with a good conscience. Meantime the authorities ruthlessly dispersed her family, drove the children among strangers, and then confiscated her house and furniture and sold them for 5000 florins." [1]
He died of starvation because of Anabaptist beliefs. In 1633 Anabaptist aged 50 in Hirzel Mullibuhel. Anabaptist Minister at Horgenberg. imprisoned at Oethenbach with wife Adelheit. Jane Evans Best has birth date as 1583 in PMH, April 1990, p. 20, probably because of census age in 1633. Reference |

The tabular format makes it a bit difficult to transcribe in that format - so I will sort this by content and translate each bit separately.

Note: There is some interesting information on Felix (and his father Hans) on https://websites.umich.edu/~bobwolfe/gen/pn/p1762.htm (found it when looking for Müllibühel).
Note: Unfortunately there is no information on the son Hans - but the fact that the family were Anabaptists doesn't make them my "favourites" in your context. Possibly the book on The Landis Family of Lancaster Countyprovides further info.
Anabaptists believe that baptism is valid only when candidates freely confess their faith in Christ and request to be baptized. Commonly referred to as believer's baptism, it is opposed to baptism of infants, who are not able to make a conscious decision to be baptized.The Amish, Hutterites, and Mennonites are direct descendants of the early Anabaptist movement.

Maria Huberin, Hanß Landiß Hausfrau von Kemten
Note that Huberin is the female form of Huber.
EDB tells us Hans Landis was a Wagner, and his wife Maria Huber originated "aus dem Boden" … there is a Hamlet Boden just South of Hirzel (amongst several other locations of this name). The Bevölkerungsverzeichnis also mentions "agric(ola)" - so he likely was also a farmer - with being a wagon maker just his specialisation, helping other farmers with problems of this kind.

What has Wolfensperger to do with it? Are these two deaths?
1) Hans Landis of Kempten - and then an abbreviation for Witwer = widower?
2) Independent (just on the same date) Hanseli(?), son of Hans Jacob Wolfensperger?
Kent: Since Marie Huberin died 9 months previous it makes sense to call Hans a Witwer = widower
