The work 'A Plaine and Easie Introduction to Practicall Musicke' by Thomas Morley was originally written and published in English in 1597. The premise that it was originally written in Latin is incorrect; it is an English-language treatise. Therefore, the question of a 'first English translation' is moot, as the original text is already in English.

Thomas Morley’s manual turns the confusing oral traditions of the Renaissance into a clear, written system for any aspiring musician. It asks why we struggle to learn music and provides the technical keys to master notation, rhythm, and the ancient theory of moods.
