Corrected birth certificate

I'm a little stumped. I came across a birth certificate for a distant relative on the NYC Historical Vital Records website for a Fred Layton, b. 1890,  which looks like it was corrected at a later date. However, this is the original certificate that was amended, not the one issued to Francis LeRoy Layton in 1942. Would I still cite it as in 9.35?

Yes, Hendrickson.  A "corrected" certificate such as this one is the same as an "amended" certificate. Layer 1 cites the certificate, following 9.35. Layer 2 will then cite the website that delivers the certificate, following the basic pattern for citing websites.
