 In 1657, William Lucy published an attack on the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes, and in particular on "Leviathan" (1651), using the pseudonym "William Pyke, Christophilus", and circulated by Humphrey Robinson.A later and expanded edition, of 1663, was under his real name, as "Observations, Censures and Confutations of Notorious Errours in Mr. Hobbes his Leviathan".John Bowle considers Lucy's views as representative of the common view.
