Wolf: 
Birth: (1703) Joos den 28 Jan.
Parents: Hans Heinrich Wolfensperger von Etenhausen / und Barbel Kuntz syn Hausfrau(?)
Sponsors: Joos Wolfensperger von Errlosen / Barbel Wolfensperger von Dürstelen
syn Hausfrau(?): "syn" for "seine". I am not quite sure about the abbreviation for "Hausfrau" - but nothing else makes sense in the context - so it's "his wife".

Kent note: Joos is most likely named after sponsor Joos Wolfensperger von Errlosen.

Note: With the last column I assume it lists books, rather than "religious education" - could be "Old Testament" - but not absolutely sure. Would be nice to have a list of abbreviations, similar to the one from Hirzel.
Parents got married in Wetzikon on 31.01.1702.
