14

This is the date Clement chooses to teach the sum: 1 plus 4 gives 5. The handbook then separates the 5 reached through 14 from the 5 reached through 23. Its 5 through 14 is active, physical and material, the sort of person who can run machinery, while the later one is a homebody.

Westcott collects fourteens from several traditions: the Paschal lamb killed on the 14th of Nisan, and the moon waxing and waning for fourteen days each. He classes 14 as a deficient number, meaning its parts add up to less than it does. Sepharial's list says sacrifice and loss, and Clement's key is A flat major, one of the few entries the text of the book confirms in a sentence.
