I would like help reading a parish register for birth of my grandfather's great-grandfather, Rasmus Olsen. The register is: Ministerialbok 1759-1791 for Manger parish, Hordaland. The birth entry is on image 182, upper left of the page…the last entry for January 1785. I would especially like help in reading the date. His parents were Ole Michelsen and Brite Rasmusdatter. I assume others named are godparents or…? Anything you can interpret would be appreciated.

The first child of Ole Michelsen and Brite Rasmusdatter was Michel. He was baptized July 22 1781, next to the last record on right page.
One of the godparents were Torchel Sæbøes wife Kari Michelsdatter. Torchel Sæbøe is Torchel Rasmusen, could he be Brites older brother? - Kari Michelsdatter came from Titland, could she be Oles older sister? - see 1801.

Both couples were engaged and married at the same date, June 25 #2 and 3 right page.
