“Mastership hath many shifts whereby it striveth to keep itself alive in the world.”
Source: A Dream of John Ball (1886), Ch. 12: Ill Would Change Be At Whiles Were It Not For The Change Beyond The Change.
Context: Mastership hath many shifts whereby it striveth to keep itself alive in the world. And now hear a marvel: whereas thou sayest these two times that out of one man ye may get but one man's work, in days to come one man shall do the work of a hundred men — yea, of a thousand or more: and this is the shift of mastership that shall make many masters and many rich men.
