In the Hagadah (page 8 of here), there is a line by the wicked son that says you should "remove his teeth" (hakeih et shinav). A common explanation is that the gematria of "rasha" (reish shin ein: 570) minus "his teeth"(shin nun yud vav: 366) equals "tzadik"(tzadi daled yud kuf: 204). What is the earliest use of this gematria to explain that line?
