This author record is associated with "God's way the best way, :briefly and plainly demonstrated; in a sermon preach'd at the lecture in Boston, March 19th. 1718,19. By William Boyd, A.M. Minister of the Gospel." Due to a bug which ignored death dates without associated birthdates a large number of works were conflated on the assumption that this was an undated author record. They all need to be removed.
