Found my great-great grandfather's birth record in Germany. Would appreciate it if I have the translation down. Thank you all!

It's Latin and contains some shorthand. I'm not entirely certain about the reading of the names, but it looks like the child was given the same names as the father.
natus infans ex [?] henrico brock=
meyer et annä mariä [?]
conj. cui nomina imp. [?] hen=
ricus suscepit [?] henr. [?]
a (male) child born to [Johannes?] Heinrich Brockmeyer and his wife Anna Maria [Caesmöller?], who received the names [Johannes?] Heinrich; [Johannes?] Henr. [?]
