4432. The prince of the land. That this signifies what is primary among the churches, is evident from the signification of a “prince,” as being what is primary (see n. 1482, 2089); and from the signification of “the land,” as being the church (see n. 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928, 3355, 3686, 3705).
