The writing is very neat. The document is called "Per-filha-çao" the act of assuming his/her own child in eng is AFFILIATION which is rooted in the latin.
Antonio Baptista is the Father and is providing the documentation to the priest to assume responsibility of his daughter Ana. The subsequent pages states that he wishes the child to partake of his inheritance etc. talks about him being single and the child having been recorded on the baptismal records; born of father "oculto" hidden/unknown to the widow of Francisco Bernardo.
