He was educated at the King's School, Canterbury, and in 1720 became a student of the Inner Temple. It is known that he trained as a solicitor in his early years but took time off from his legal pursuits, returning at need to his profession. Sale was an early member of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.
Sale became seriously ill with fever for eight days before his death, and died at Surrey Street, The Strand, on November 13, 1736. Sale was buried at St. Clement Danes. His family consisted of a wife and five children.
