This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John and Charles Wesley's work Hymns and Sacred Poems (1st edition, 1739; 1742 edition; and 4th edition, 1743). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1739; contents).
• 1742 edition (contents; archived at the Internet Archive).
• 4th edition (1743).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1742 edition, specify |edition=1742; and if quoting from the 4th edition (1743), specify |edition=4th. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1739).
• |1=, |chapter=, |hymn=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the hymn or poem quoted from. If quoting from the preface, specify |chapter=The Preface. If the parameter is given the value indicated in the first column of the following table, the template will display what is indicated in the second column:

For help with adding other hymns or poems, or linking English Wikipedia articles to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |section= – some poems in the work are subdivided into parts. To avoid confusion with the two parts (part I and II) that the whole work is divided into, use this parameter to specify these parts of poems as "sections" in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |stanza= or |verse= – the hymns and poems in the work are further subdivided into stanzas or verses. Use these parameters to specify the stanza or verse number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) 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=iii–iv.
  • 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 for the template to correctly indicate the part of the work quoted from (part I or II), and to link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment about 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.
