4014.“榛树、梧桐树”表由此所衍生的属世真理所拥有的能力。这从“榛树和梧桐树”的含义清楚可知,“榛树和梧桐树”是指属世真理。这些树的含义无法从圣言中的其它经文明显看出来,因为它们在别处没有被提及,只有以西结书提到了“梧桐树”(经上或译为枫树):
神园中的香柏树不能遮蔽他。松树不及他的枝子,梧桐树不及他的枝条,任何树都没有他荣美。(以西结书31:8)
这论及属于属灵教会成员的知识和理性概念;“神园”表示属灵教会;“香柏树”表示理性概念,“松树”和“梧桐树”表示属世观念;“松树”(或杉树)表示含有良善的属世观念;“梧桐树”表示含有真理的属世观念。

4014. And hazel, and plane-tree. That this signifies the derivative power of natural truths, is evident from the signification of the "hazel" and the "plane-tree," as being natural truths. That this is the signification of these trees cannot be so evident from other places in the Word, as they are not named elsewhere, except the "plane-tree" in Ezekiel:
The cedars in the garden of God did not hide him, the fir-trees were not like his boughs, and the plane-trees were not as his branches, nor was any tree like unto him in his beauty (Ezek. 31:8);
where the subject treated of is the knowledges and rational things that appertain to the man of the spiritual church. The "garden of God" is the spiritual church; the "cedars" are rational things the "fir-trees" and "plane-trees," are natural things; the "fir-trees," natural things as to good; and the "plane-trees," as to truth.

4014. 'And hazel and plane' means the power deriving from this which natural truths possess. This is clear from the meaning of 'hazel and plane' as natural truths. This meaning which these trees have cannot be demonstrated in the same way from other places in the Word because they are not mentioned anywhere else, except for the following reference to 'the plane trees' in Ezekiel,
The cedars did not hide it in the garden of God, the fir trees were not equal to its branches, and the plane trees were nothing compared to its branches. No tree was equal to it in its beauty. Ezek 31:8.
This refers to the facts and to the rational concepts present in the member of the spiritual Church. 'The garden of God' means the spiritual Church, 'the cedars' rational concepts, 'the fir trees' and 'the plane trees' natural ideas - 'the fir trees' natural ideas involving good, 'the plane trees' those involving truth.

4014. `Et corylum, et platanum': quod significet potentiam inde naturalium veritatum, constat ex significatione `coryli et platani' quod sint naturales veritates: quod haec significatio istarum arborum sit, non ita constare potest ex aliis locis in Verbo quia alibi non nominantur, praeter platanum apud Ezechielem, Cedri non occultarunt illam in horto Dei, abietes non pares fuerunt ramis ejus, et platani non fuerunt sicut rami ejus, omnis arbor non par fuit illi in pulchritudine ejus, xxxi 8;ibi de scientificis et rationalibus apud hominem spiritualis Ecclesiae agitur; `hortus Dei' est Ecclesia spiritualis, `cedri' sunt rationalia, `abietes et platani' sunt naturalia, `abietes' naturalia quoad bonum, {1}`platani' quoad verum. @1 i et$
