Dorept is probably latinised Dorpat - the latinising of names could be a bit random.
Laus is Latin for praise/glory (nom. sing. noun - from laudo = to praise) Deo = God (dat. sing.)
So Laus Deo would be "Glory to God"
All up: Glory to God in December of the year of Christ our Lord and Saviour 1553. The reverend and pious lord, Herman Marsoui of the church of Dorpat, the greatest patron, object of pious memory, overseeing the arts of alchemy, shared this mystery on account of my friendship. The year 1556.
