I have transcribed it aspresented. Note that the Bible is relatively recent - 1903 - but contains many old records copied from much older family bibles - probably that of Rev. Elijah Hitch and earlier ones of the Martin family with dates back into the mid 18th century. These families are all from Sussex County, DE - near Laurel." Dr. William J. Hitch Bible 1903, A.J.
