This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from The New World of English Words (1st edition, 1658) compiled by Edward Phillips; and The New World of Words (6th edition, 1702) updated by John Kersey the younger. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

• 1st edition (1658).
• 6th edition (1702).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 6th edition, specify |edition=6th.
• |1= or |entry= – the entry or headword in the work to be quoted from. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |noformat= – entries are indicated with the first letter capitalized (and in italics in the 1st edition) as in the work. To format the entry differently using wikitext (for example, |entry=† ''Illecebrous''), specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes.
• |page= – mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=RR9lAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP37, specify |page=37. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
• |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) to be quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, either omit this parameter or use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
• |2=, |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.
