"In 1645 [the Earl of] Newcastle set up a philosophical disputation between Hobbes and an exiled Anglican bishop, John Bramhall, on free will and necessity; the short text Hobbes wrote on this subject was later published, without his authorization, as Of Libertie and Necessitie(1654)" "Bramhall [then] felt obliged to go to press with A Vindication of True Liberty from Antecedent and Extrinsical Necessity (1655)"- DNB.
