Trinitie Sunday,
which was indeed on 31 May in 1629.

The actual parish register is available on Familysearch.

But it is of little help. As the complaint in the BTs says, there were no entries made between 1737 and 1767. The new vicar then added retrospective details of a few families, the same as shown in image 113 of the BTs.

If the previous vicar didn't keep a register, how did he manage to submit the BTs each year? If he compiled them from memory or rough notes then it's quite possible he made a few mistakes. Although it's also possible that there was a register but it didn't get passed on to the new vicar.

Do not give up all hope. There are Bishop's Transcripts going back as far as 1610, but as usual with many years misssing.

Baptisms, marriages, burials, 1606, 1610, 1618, 1620, 1624, 1627-1628, 1633, 1663-1664, 1666, 1668-1672, 1674-1676, 1678-1681, 1686, 1690, 1694-1696, 1704, 1708-1709, 1713-1715, 1719-1730, 1732-1737, 1743-1751, 1753, 1755-1799, 1801-1807, 1809-1812

In all the instances of "Troth" in those two wills the first letter is a form of "T" that was fairly common at the time. The bit on the front was written by a different person, but you can tell it's a "T" because the abbreviated word before the name is "Tm" (standing for Testament) and the first letter is the same as in the name.

The form used within the wills is quite similar to an "E" but if you compare it with the first letter of "Executor" you can see an important difference. The "T" is composed of two strokes, with the pen taken off the paper in-between, while the "E" is one stroke made up of two curves.

Troth was a fairly common name in Derbyshire. If you search Ancestry's index of early Derbyshire parish registers for Troth you get over 200 records, adding Troath and Truth puts it up to about 300.
Searching for Eroth or similar gives just 6 records, and on inspection every one is a misreading of Troath!
