Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Latin to English, please.

On the attached clip, I think I know what both the Latin phrases mean, but I would welcome thoughts from those whose Latin is better than either my schoolboy level, or Google translate

Thank you. I have quite a few leather workers in my tree, but this is the first time I have come across this term.

Thanks, Bookbox.
And now, here's another. The word after Bill I suspect is an occupation, but not entirely clear. The fact that Winifred was buried in the Abbey is also interesting, possibly indicating that she was a person of some importance. There is a second entry for this burial in the records for St. Julian, oddly dated the 9th December stating that she was buried in the Abbey. Link to the clip is

The Londinensis may be in reference to one of the family being apprenticed to a London printer. When I've done all the BMDs I can find, I'll follow that up. In the meantime, what is at the end of this 1807 burial entry for Mary Bill at Barrow?

Now, I wonder why I didn't think of that!

There is a baptism a few lines further down the page for a Willmus. The capital W and the final couple of letters are very similar to the beginning of Maria's father's name, from which I think that Maria is the daughter of William Bill, with the William being quite contracted on Maria's entry. The only puzzle now is the Londinensis; there is no similar name around Much Wenlock that I can see, and there is no London Street or London Road in the town.

Could the father's name be Gulielmus?

It is the burial of a Maria Bill in Much Wenlock in 1675. I can make out:
S Maria filia : ?? : Bill Lo??? s{e}p{u}lt ?? eodi? Virgissi?? primo die Mar?? 1675
i.e. she was buried on the 21st March. The rest I need a bit of help with, please.
