Sager's notes taken at sermons by Richard Frankland, Thomas Jollie the elder, and several other nonconformist preachers. The sermons were preached at Frankland's nonconformist academy near Sheffield and later at Attercliffe, Yorkshire. Sager seems to have interspersed the sermons with his own meditations, and it is not always easy to tell where a sermon ends.
