This is the minute appointing William Sclater as Headmaster. The appointment was made during the interregnum, a period when there was no monarch on the throne. Instead, the head of state was Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector. Somewhat surprisingly, Sclater was a prominent and unrepentant Royalist officer.
Note: 10 January 1654 was a Tuesday, not a Monday.
