The Worshipful Master

If, as it claims ad infinitum, the Orange order is based on the Bible, can someone kindly explain to me where the term "Worshipful Master" comes from in the Scriptures, if not from that Source what is its origin, and what the actual meaning of this term is.

My understanding of the Christian faith is that only God is to be worshipped therefore to attach a term of 'worship' to a mere man is inappropriate if not utterly wrong.  To ascribe such a term to a mere sinful man is to be guilty of some kind of spiritual adultery, which is another name for idolatry.

Anyone help me?
