Benjamin Harris first published a version of his speller under the title The Protestant Tutor… in 1679, a full text version of this doesn’t include this verse.
Several other editions were published between 1679 and the 1705 edition which are unavailable online. Whether it appears before this 1705 edition is unknown.
