This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert South's work Twelve Sermons Preached upon Several Occasions (1st edition, 1692–1717; and 6th edition, 1727; both 6 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from a volume in the 1727 edition, specify |edition=1727. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1692–1717).
• |1= or |volume= – the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=VI.
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from epistle dedicatory in volume I, II, III, or VI, specify |chapter=Epistle Dedicatory. As these 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 is https://books.google.com/books?id=YYxH0XJOsQEC&pg=PP11 specify |page=11, and if it is https://archive.org/details/sermonspreached01sout/page/n4/mode/1up specify |page=4.
• |date= or |year= – if the date of the sermon quoted from is known, use |date= to specify it; the date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. Alternatively, if only the year is known, use |year= to specify it.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page numbers 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.

• |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.
