Explanation:
The masters prefer to take on more apprentices rather than promote journeymen into master status in order to keep their numbers down and therefore secure their share of the available market. Eventually it has become almost impossible to become a master unless you are the son of a master or married a master's daughter. This leaves the majority of men working in the craft without hope of rising beyond journeyman status.

Explanation:
Očito se radi o nekoj stilskoj figuri nesto kao:

-čovjek-putnik (...obratim tebi ''čovjeku-putniku'')

-ili putničkoj duši - obzirom da se za čovjeka često kaže da je duša (...obratim tebi putničkoj duši...)

Možda....?
