Antedating of "Jewish"

[Shapiro, Fred]

I don't know whether someone else has already found this antedating.


Jewish (OED a1546)

1531 Robert Barnes _A supplicatyon made by Robert Barnes doctoure in diuinitie, vnto the most excellent and redoubted prince kinge henrye the eyght_ (Early English Books Online)
They haue rynges and oches and other ceremonyes / so many that there is in a maner now no thynge els in the churche / but all Iewysh maners. wyl you make this heresy by cause I speake agenst youre damnable and pompous myters.
