I also remember Anton writing that these terms were 'all over', which may have been an exaggeration, but it differs from Gemini's 2 counts.

I gave it a pdf of the Hans Sachs play of the "Peasant in Purgatory", which does contain two instances and is 16th century (1552). I have not seen any earlier attestations.
