Ormerod, Oliver, a noted English Churchman of king James Fs reign, tlourished as rector of Huntspill, Somersetshire, and died in 1626. He was a great po- lemic, and wrote severely against Papists and Puri- tans. Among his works the most noted is The Picture of a Puritane (Lond. 1605, 4to), which, though it de- serves to be passed by as unworthy in tendency, claims the recognition of scholars because of the thorough knowledge of men and things which it exhibits. It is replete witli classical allusions, and aboumls in quota- tions from the Church fathers, the schoolmen, and other abstruse writers. Other noteworthy productions of Ormerod's are, The Picture of a Pajiist (1606): — A Discovery of Puritan Papisme and a Discovery of
