I have made a start.  I don't have a solid sense of the name of the daughter - some possibilities come to mind but I don't especially like any of them.

It's also in question whether the the is part of the name or not - Dorothe is possible but I don't think probable.

[?] the daught(e)r of John Drap(er) borne the xvjth of dece[?]

xvj = 16

ADDED:

I'm not sure whether you are aware of this, but looking at your other samples it appears that only #3 could be the same father.

#1 - Ursula daught(e)r of John Cooper
#2 - M(ar)gery daughter of John [? - but not Draper]
#3 - Mychael daught(e)r of John Draper

It would be useful to have more of the surrounding page for #4.

It's possible the initial letter of the name is a P, but the extract cuts out before anything below-the-line is visible.

Thanks for the expanded image.  It makes a few things clearer.

1.  The date is:  ...the xvjth of dece(m)b(e)r 1614.  The slanting line before the year belongs to the record above.

2.  Judging from Wm above and Elsabeth below the leftmost vertical line is not part of the initial letter of the forename.

So the initial letter is perhaps L.  Whilst on appearance it could be a D, no other D is formed that way.  It's not a P, in my opinion.

What appears to be the third letter is a problem.  It could be a poorly formed r - not that different to the r in borne on the same record.

So my best suggestion is:   Lore the daught(e)r of...

Confidence level is low to medium at best.

It looks like "Dorothe" to me - a capital D
