I think the first time you think you see baptized it actually says "satisfeito'" (satisfied; as in having satisfied the necessary requirements. I think the second time you think you see baptized it actually says "deste bispado" (from this bishopric; I think it is saying that this marriage is done in compliance with a document from that bishopric. I just can't make out the words before it). It is definitely a marriage. I do not exactly have the format for marriages down which makes it more difficult to decipher, especially since there is a lot of church jargon I am not familiar with. I hope this helps.
On another note for Linda: Please tell me how to do this photo shop to make the faint print stand out. I have never used this but it would be quite useful.
