work-master

1560, Geneva Bible, Wisdom of Solomon 13:1-2, Surely all men are vaine by nature, and are ignorant of God, and colde not knowe him that is, by the good things that are sene, nether consider by the workes the work-master. But thei thoght the fyre, or the winde or the swift aire, or the course of the starres, or the raging water, or the lights of heaven to be governours of the worlde, and gods.
