Ooops - that got away before I'd finished :-) Thank you all who have sorted out roughly what was said, even though the Latin was perhaps a little rough. As far as I can see this is the only entry like this, so it must have had some significance - perhaps because it was the vicar/curate's god child and he was pleased with himself!
