Sources for free will of angels


I want to define free-will for this question as a moral right and wrong decision, not an arbitrary decision or a true/false decision. I am familiar with sources that say that angels do not have free will of this type. I have also often heard quoted an idea that "angels have free will, but it is just so clear to them that they should make the right decision that they almost never make the wrong decision." Can anyone provide sources predating the 20th century (the earlier the better) which support this idea?
