Transcription

Eod[em] / Georgius f[ilius] [Jois struck through] Georgij de Wulf et Margar[etae] / van Overschelde Co[niugum] / P[atrinus] Georgius de Wulf / M[atrina] Jacoba uxor Georgij Keyser

Translation

The same day [14 April 1638]: Georgius, son of Georgius de Wulf - the clerk first wrote 'Jois' (Joannis), struck it and wrote 'Georgij' - and Margareta van Overschelde. Godparents Georgius de Wulf and Jacoba, wife of Georgius Keyser. Jan de Wulf's wife was Margareta and Joris's was Martina, so the entry is confused either way.
