What is the earliest secure English humility witness?

Merriam-Webster reports the fourteenth century broadly. The Middle English Dictionary supplies a circa-1390 Chaucer citation with humylitee, but this review did not inspect its underlying manuscript witness, and the located citation does not prove that no earlier English occurrence survives.

c1390 Chaucer CT.Pars. I.989

Supplies one located Middle English dictionary citation but not a directly inspected manuscript object.
