This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Francis Bacon's work Of the Proficience and Advancement of Learning, Divine and Humane (1st edition, 1605). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |book= – mandatory: the book of the work quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |book=1 or |book=2.
• |2= or |folio=, and |verso= – mandatory in some cases: as the work is numbered by folios instead of pages, note the following:
  • Indicate the folio number, and use |verso=1 or |verso=yes to indicate that the verso (left-hand page) is being quoted from. If |verso= is omitted, the template assumes that the recto (right-hand page) is being quoted from. This parameter must be specified for the template to link to the online versions of the work.
  • If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 10, verso – 11, recto", use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range. In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)

The work has numerous foliation errors; the text is unaffected. Specify the correct folio number indicated in the table below:

Book 1			Book 2
Correct folio number	Incorrect folio number		Correct folio number	Incorrect folio number
[3]			[9]	6
[17]	16		[30]	33
[19]	18		[70A]	70 (duplicate number after folio 70)
[24]	34		[71A]	70 (duplicate number after folio 71)
			[72A]	74 (duplicate number after folio 72)
			[76]	69 (duplicate number after folio 75)
			[81]	77 (duplicate number after folio 80)
			[82]	74
			[83]	74
			[84]	69
			[85]	69
			[96]	99
			[98]	99
			[99]	94
			[101]	99
			[104]	103
			[105]	93
			[115]	105

• |3=, |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.
