 * pages=pagenumbers or page=page number — Required for a full citaion:


 * ref=harv — This parameter is used to link this template to the templates sfn harvnb or harv when they are used in short citations and this template is placed in a general references section
 * mode=cs1 — This parameter defaults to "cs1" but can be changed to "cs2" as used by citation see Help:CS1
 * postscript=character — This standard parameter is used to alter the character used as a postscript. The default is a dot "." postscript=none for none (as used in citation)

The template takes one additional parameter called "part". Part can be set to: Part affect the presentation of the template. If part is set then the title changes to
 * part=1 or part=I

List of parliaments with page numbers
The help aid navigation to the correct page here is a list of parliaments with their corresponding page numbers in Part II of the book (Willis is not consistent with his use of Old Style and New Style dates so the first column uses the date that the parliament assembled from the list of parliaments of England):

List of members indexed on surname
There is a list of members indexed on surname on pages 313–387.

This member index and the list of parliaments with page numbers can be used to find the page in any parliament where a member is mentioned. On the pages next to each member's entry can be found the constituency they represented.

For example, the first entry in the members index is for "Abbot, Daniel, 284". Looking at the list of parliaments with page numbers it can be seen that page is within the bounds of the "Second Protectorate Parliament (Parliament at Westminster, Anno 1658-9)" (pages 272 to 284) and turning to page 284 The entry reads "Counties of Tipperary and Waterford, Sir John Reynolds Kt, Daniel Abbot."
