Hi, if anyone can decipher and translate the words in the three paragraphs in this image I would be immensely grateful. It relates to baptism (I think) records for children of my ancestors William Sampson and Elizabeth De Visme.

This is how I would translate it:
1760
Elisabeth & Maria, twins, daughters of William Sampson & Elizabeth his wife, born on 9 June 1760 and baptised by me the undersigned; the younger on 10 June, and the elder Elisabeth on 4 July 1760. Godfather & godmother for both Pierre de Visme & Marianne de Visme.
Samuel Mauzy, Minister
1761
Anna Maria daughter of William & Elizabeth Sampson his wife, born on 25 April 1761, was baptised by me the undersigned on 22 May 1761. Godfather Francis Maude, godmother Marianne Dalbiac.
