... Counting full stop signs: (9 + 4 + 3) + (2 + 5 + 3 + 13) + (2 + 8 + 12) =  16 + 23 + 22 = 61 = 366 / 6 ...

61 + 18 = 79 could allude to the day before the Gregorian spring equinox (ºMarch 21).

... Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years) ...

And then there is a Sign in form of a special punctuation mark in the 6th line on page 4 (line 46 counted from the beginning).
