if God should allow him victory over the Worm, he would sacrifice unto Him the first living thing he then happen'd to see
Biblical allusion. In Judges 11, Jephthah vowes to sacrifice whoever first comes into his house, should God grant him victory over the Ammonites. It is actually Jephthah's daughter, and the sacrifice is accomplished. Interpretations disagree though on whether "sacrifice" has to be taken literally.
