You have not told us the origin of this title. I have just been reminded of the omission by the dedication of Ludovici Cappelli Commentarii, Amstel., 1689, which is—
"Wilhelmo Archiepiscopo Cantuariensi ... alterius orbis, sed melioris, Papæ."

Charles Dodd (Vol. ii., p. 496.).
—TYRO will find an account of this writer in Biographical Illustrations of Worcestershire: by John Chambers, Esq.: Worcester, 1820, 8vo., p. 591., from which we learn that his true name was Hugh Tootel, a Lancashire man born in 1672, in the neighbourhood of Preston. The name of Hugh Tootle is recognised in the prospectus or announcement of Mr. Tierney's new edition of Dodd's Church History of England, of which the first and second volumes appeared so long ago as 1839: but I regret to say that the work is yet far from being completed.

"Prenzie" (Vol. iii., p. 522.).
—We seem now to have got to the true reading, "primzie." The termination zie suits a Scotch word perhaps. I only wish to mention, that the form "prin" is connected with the verb "to preen," which we use of birds. Yet that again seems connected with prune. Etymology is always in a circle.
