Notes:

I must’ve pulled too many muscles in my brain while I was trying to decipher the lines about Johann Friedrich Headerich.  When I finished the translation, I forgot that, in 1674, Stephan Thomae had already been the pastor of Neuhaus-Schierschnitz ( not Neuhaus am Rennweg! ) for six years, since 1668, and that he was not transferred to Sonnefeld until 1678 — four years later.  So he wasn’t new to Neuhaus-Schierschnitz.  The following translation should have read :

The English translation :

On the 14th of June [ 1674 ] Sunday, Fest Day of the Trinity 9. Mr Christian Röder, currently District Administrator of this place of Neuhaus [ -Schierschnitz ], a young son is baptized, baptismal witnesses and Godparents were :  the most worshipful and most worthy Mr Johann Friedrich Henderich, in the office of the Temporary Administrative District Officer of Sonnefeld, 2. Mr Johann-Georg Beyers, Town Council member and draper in Coburg, and 3. Frau Cordula Thomaßin, born Buchenröder, the wife of the present pastor of this place, Stephan Thomae.
The child will have the name of Johann Friedrich.

P.S.  In 1674 ( not 1574 ), Ernst I the Pious, the Duke of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg, was still the sovereign of Neuhaus-Schierschnitz ( in the District of Sonneberg ) but he died on 26 March 1675.  His oldest surviving son succeeded him as Friedrich I, the Duke of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg.  The old Duchy of Saxe-Coburg belonged to him at that time but, in 1680, it was transferred to his oldest surviving brother, Albrecht.
