This is an odd mixture of English and Latin. But, after some head-scratching, I think it reads:

Willia(m) Paxton & Elizabeth Yates ioyned in Matrimony by Charles Horn,

June 14th 1676 diluculo patre dormitante ^Reptare et nesc[…]^ Hir first born

William Paxton was baptised Aprilis ultimo 1677 infans dierum 40ta



… 1676, in the early morning, with the father sleeping, they crept away and he was unaware. Her first born William Paxton was baptised the last day of April 1677 as an infant 40 days old.

This is quite brilliant, Bookbox, to extract so much from such a source.

Thanks for the appreciation, horselydown86. As you know, I hate to be beaten by such matters.

I had a try !

Don't know if it means anything  ???

Google translate
------

diluculo patre dormitante ^Reptare et nesc[…]^ Hir first born

((nesc(io) - and I do know
or
nesco - you are born

Latin : words in English coming up

maybe
Early ? - father - sleep (?) - and I do know...........Hir..(his/her ?)..First born 
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth
