Transcription:

Anno 1688, den 24 10bris, ißt Jacob Baur, geweßter Völlmlins Müller, alß die ganze Bürgerschaft allhier aufgeboten worden, die in der Freydenstadt ligenden feindlichen französischen Völcker außzutreiben, von einem Musquetenschuß tod gebliben und hernach allda christlich zur Erden bestattet worden, seines Alters 33 Jahr 8 Monath. Gott erwecke denselban alß einen standhaften Streiter Jesu Christi dereinst aus der Erden mit Freuden.

Translation:

On 24 December 24 1688, the "Völlmlins Müller" Jacob Baur, when the entire local citizenry was summoned to drive out the hostile French troops encamped in Freudenstadt, was killed by a musket shot, and was subsequently buried there as a Christian, his age 33 years and 8 months. May God raise him from the earth with joy as a steadfast fighter of Jesus Christ.
