This is from a 1759 baptism record in England. It reads, James, son of James Shepherd & Mary his wife of ????? baptized Jan 1 1759" The term is repeated for several other records but most are written something like "John Smith son of William Smith & his wife Elizabeth baptized Dec 15 1758." I have googled baptism terminology and haven't found anything close. See Image on Ancestry:
