The most recent (third) edition of the OED cites 1598 as the earliest English-language reference for "Anglican". The quotation is as follows:
1598 King James VI & I in D. Calderwood True Hist. Church Scotl. (1844) V. 694 I minde not..to bring in Papisticall or Anglican bishopping; but onlie to have the best and wisest of the ministrie appointed by the General Assemblie.
The next oldest is from 1600:
1600 J. Melvill Autobiogr. & Diary (1842) 471 Antichristian and Anglican Episcopall dignities..ar flat repugnant to the Word of God.

translated to
- In the first place we have conceded to God, and by this our present charter confirmed for us and our heirs for ever that the English church shall be free, and shall have her rights entire, and her liberties inviolate;
