- As the chapters above marked with an asterisk (*) are unpaginated, use
|3=or|page=to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books or the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://books.google.com/books?id=2PdiAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP7specify|page=7, and if it ishttps://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1641-1700_fifty-sermons-preached-_donne-john_1649/page/n2/mode/1upspecify|page=2. (The other chapters are also unpaginated, but the template can determine the URL.)
|date=– the date of the sermon quoted from according to the Julian calendar. The template will convert it to a date in the Gregorian calendar.|3=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:
|pages=10–11. - You must also use
|pageref=to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

In the 2nd volume, page numbers 290–299 are not used; the text is unaffected.
|3=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
