German Taufbrief Fraktur 1770 Hinterhermsdorf

Description

Wonderful Taufbrief.
Translation
Johann Christlieb
My Lord, keep this child in your grace, inscribe the name it will find into the book of life. Wash it with the blood of your Son and this may itself be the highest good for it. Lord Jesus, write yourself with your blood in my baptismal note, that you also died for the sake of this child, therefore heaven shall be for this one as well.
This is what your faithful godfather wishes you from the bottom of his heart on the day of your rebirth, which was July 8, 1770.
Master Johann Georg Hohlfelder, cottager and linen weaver in Hinterhermsdorf.
