This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Matthew Hale's works Contemplations Moral and Divine (First Part, 1st edition, 1676; First and Second Parts, 1699 version; and Third Part, 2nd edition, 1700); the 1st editions of The Second Part (London: William Shrowsbury , and John Leigh , 1676; →OCLC) and The Third Part (London: William Shrowsbury, and are to be sold by Richard Wellington, , 1696; →OCLC) are not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• First Part (1st edition, 1676; archived at the Internet Archive).
• First and Second Parts (1699; contents of the Second Part).
• Third Part (2nd edition, 1700; contents; archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

First Part (1st edition, 1676)

• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from the preface, specify |chapter=Preface. As that chapter is unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=DIVmAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP15, specify |page=15.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages 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 the online version of the work.

Page numbers 460–465 are repeated, though the text is unaffected. To refer to the second set, specify |page=460A to |page=465A.

First and Second Parts (1699 version)

• |part= or |year= – mandatory: if quoting from the Second Part specify |part=2, and if quoting from the First Part of the 1699 version specify |year=1699 – in both cases the template will link to the 1699 version of the work. If these parameters are omitted, the template defaults to the First Part (1st edition, 1676).
• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from either of the prefaces at the starts of the First and Second Parts, specify |chapter=Preface.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals as the case may be. 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 or |pages=i–ii.
  • 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 preface at the start of the Second Part is unpaginated but may be referred as pages 291–293.
• This is an imperfect copy; portions of pages 401–404 are torn, resulting in loss of text.

Third Part (2nd edition, 1700)

• |part= – mandatory: if quoting from the Third Part, specify |part=3. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the First Part (1st edition, 1676).
• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. 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:

As "To the Reader" and the preface of "The Life and Death of Sir Matthew Hale, Kt." are unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=3AE9AAAAcAAJ&pg=PP7, specify |page=7.

• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages 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 pagination of "The Life and Death of Sir Matthew Hale, Kt." restarts from 1.

All versions

• |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.
