Dates for Alfred's epithet of 'The Great'

Genuine question - it says in this article Alfred was coined 'The Great' the 16th century, but I cannot find a source to back this up. S. Keynes seems to suggest it was first seen in Matthew Paris' work in the 1200s, suggesting it was a title given much earlier. (this information can be found in Keynes' 'the cult of King Alfred the Great') Could anyone provide a source for the claim that he was given it in the 16th century that is mentioned in the article?
