  • Volume II (books V–IX).
  • Volume III (books IX (continued)–XI).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

1st edition (1655)

• |1= or |book= – mandatory: the book number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |book=I to |book=XI.
• |chapter= – the name of a chapter of the work quoted from which is not a section. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
*Book 1 Dedication	To the Illustrious Esme Stuart, Duke of Richmond
Book 2 Dedication	To the Right Honourable Henry Lord Marques of Dorchester, Earle of Kingston, Viscount Newark, Lord Peirrepont, &c.

To the Reader	To the Reader

As the chapters marked with an asterisk (*) are unpaginated, use |3= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1641-1700_the-church-history-of-br_fuller-thomas_1655/page/n4/mode/1up, specify |page=4. ("To the Reader" is also unpaginated, but the template can determine the URL.)

• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• The page numbering starts from 1 at the beginning of books I, III, VIII, and X.
• In book III, after page 200 the next four pages are numbered 153–156; the text is unaffected. Specify these pages as |page=153A to |page=156A.
• In book IV, the dedication appears unpaginated, but its pages should be specified as |page=122 to |page=125.
• Book V begins on page 163. Also, page 192 is misprinted as 190; specify it as |page=192.
• In book VII, pages 379–383 are misprinted as 371–375; specify the correct page number, which the template encloses within square brackets.
• In books VIII and XI, some pages of the dedications are missing.

New edition (1837)

• |edition= – if quoting from the new edition (1837), specify |edition=new. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1655).
• |chapter= – the name of a chapter of the work quoted from which is not a section. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the table above, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column.
• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

Both editions

• |2= or |section= – as the main part of the work is divided into "sections" instead of chapters, use this parameter to specify the section number in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |sectionname= – the name of the section quoted from.
• |subsection= or |subsections= – the subsection number(s) in Arabic numerals, and the name of the subsection(s) in parentheses after the number(s): see the example below.
• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to 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.
