This variant is a transcription error resulting in very different words. 'Principerem' is the accusative substantive adjective First Citizen' (title of the Emperor) while 'inciperem' is a first person, imperfect, subjuctive verb meaning begin to. In this sentence, the correct choice is 'inciperem'. The writer says he was beginning to give his customary sermon about the mysteries of the life of Christ.
