John Trapp on Psalms 104:14

Verſ. 14. He cauſeth the graſs to grow for the cattel] Hee cauſed it to grow at firſt, before cattel were created, Gen. 1.11, 12. And ſo he doth ſtill, as the firſt cauſe; by rain and dew from heaven, as the ſecond cauſe.

And herb for the ſervice of man] Ad eſum & ad uſum, for food, phyſick, &c. Gen. 1.29. Green herbs, it ſeemeth, was a great diſh with the Ancients, which therefore they called Holus, ab [non-Latin text not transcribed] Ariſtippus told his Fellow-Philoſopher who fed upon them, If you can pleaſe Dionyſius, you need not eat green herbs. He preſently replied, If you can eat green herbs, you need not pleaſe Dionyſius, and be his Paraſite.

That he may bring forth food out of the earth] Alma parens Tellus. Labour not for the meat that periſheth, but for the meat. &c. Job. 6.37.
