Looking for baptism record of Helena Sieben

Hi all,

Who can help me in finding the "original" baptism record for [[Sieben-104|Helena Sieben (1793-1832)]]? According her marriage documents she was baptized on July 16 1793 in Wolda (Bentheim, Niedersachsen, Duitsland)? See the image of the baptism extract here (the next image is some explanation on the extract if I'm correct), it is in Latin, but I tried to translate it:

Helen is the daughter of honorable parents Mathia Sieben and Judita Kock.
In the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-three, she was born in a lawful bed, and indeed, in the month of July, on the sixteenth, was baptized in the oratory of Covord.
Mateo Holtmann and Helena raise the fosters.
I attest that these letters have been in writing from the Register of Baptisms, in their own hand.

This is providing me not enough information to find the "original" record though.

Any help is appreciated!

Your translation mentions Covord as place of baptism. Looks like Coevorden, so that's where I looked and found it (left page, 2nd entry):
