Arcana Coelestia # 7692
7692. 'On tree and on plant of the field' means belonging to the things the Church recognized and knew. This is clear from the meaning of 'a tree' as a recognition of truth, dealt with just above in 7690; and from the meaning of 'a plant of the field' as a known fact about truth, also dealt with above, in 7689.
