Zachary Boyd (1585–1653) was a Scottish minister and university administrator who wrote many sermons, scriptural versifications and other devotional works.〔(Zachary Boyd ). University of Glasgow (multi-tab page)〕〔Zachary Boyd entry in ''Cousin, John William (1910). ''A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature.'' London, J. M. Dent & Sons; New York, E. P. Dutton.〕 He served as Dean of Faculties, Rector and Vice-Chancellor at the University of Glasgow during the 1630s and 1640s, and bequeathed a generous legacy to the University including his library and large manuscript collection of unpublished sermons and verse. ==Life== Boyd was born into the family of Boyd of Pinkhill, Ayrshire. He first studied at the University of Glasgow and then went to Saumur in France. There he followed courses of his kinsman Robert Boyd and in 1611 became Regent Professor. He returned to Glasgow in 1621 and became Minister of Barony Parish in 1623. During the 1630s–1640s he served as Dean of Faculties, Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the Glasgow University where he was highly praised as a preacher.〔 He was a moderate royalist who, like many faculty members at Glasgow, was initially reluctant to subscribe to the National Covenant in 1638, though in time he did so. As a Scottish Presbyterian his primary concern as the English Civil War broke out was to guarantee Presbyterian church government in Scotland. In a poem about the Battle of Newburn Boyd celebrated the Scottish victory but stopped short of saying that the King himself had been defeated. After many magistrates and ministers subsequently fled Glasgow, Boyd remained behind and met Oliver Cromwell in October 1648: Cromwell was advised to ‘pistol the scoundrel’ but instead invited Boyd for dinner.〔
