There's an interesting vid on FB somewhere where a guy puts forward some theories on the 1414 and 1441, including whether they're references to biblical verses, such as Psalm 144:1, which states, "Blessed be the Lord, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle" or the number 4 has significance through eg Ezekial 1:10 which talks about the four faces of God.
Although he says its impossible to come up with a definitive answer, he makes - IMHO - a good point about the Roscrucians who appear in the very early C17th, which is when these numbers seem to appear.
There was a diagram in one of their works which featured the numbers arranged in a square such that that they could be read as 1441 or 1414. Now I have to go and find the vid again.

PS if the numbers are linked to the Rosicrucians, then interest in them reoccurs throughout the C17th and into the late C18th, when they're tied up with the Freemasons.
