Karen, this is a tough read for a baptism. The margin appears to be at least in part in Latin. It mentions an impediment and there was an exorcism. The narrative starts as you say: Miguel son of Manuel Machado Gomes and his wife Maria Vieira, natives, residents, and parishioners of Ribeira Seca, parish of the Apostle Sao Tiago, Villa de Calheta, Sao George island, born on the twenty-eighth day of the month of September in the year one thousand seven hundred and nine, refuted in exorcisms in this parish church by me, Antao Homem, Vicar. Afterwards baptized at home on the thirty-first day of the current month and year. Godmother was Anna Machado, wife of Amaro Lopes de Sousa, son of those exorcised, also Manuel Ares, son of Antonio Vieira. All natives and residents of this place and parish. I date and sign with the witnesses present Padre Gonsalo Pedro Machado and Joam de Mattos da Sylveira, day month and year.
