Alguien que me ayude con los datos del Cronista de Sayula, Jalisco

I have just posted in my Dropbox account several handwritten pages of selected extractions of the earliest Pinos parish baptism entries.

Diego Joseph Reynoso resided in Juchipila in 1743, originally of Jalostotitlan,
and likely the same Diego Reynoso baptised in San Juan de los Lagos in 1716,
