No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.

The work in question is a specific 17th-century map titled "Tabula Gaeographica amplissimae ditionis Westphaliae conterminarumque provinciarum" by Gerard Mercator. While the Mercator-Hondius Atlas (which contained such maps) was translated into English in the 17th century (e.g., by Henry Hexham), individual maps of this era were typically engraved with Latin text and were not "translated" in the sense of a literary work. The text on the map is descriptive cartographic labeling rather than a translatable prose text, and no evidence exists of a specific English translation of this map's Latin text. Therefore, it is considered a first translation in the sense that no such translation exists.
