I agree that should probably be taken out or rephrased. Middle Scots - while not ENTIRELY dissimilar to Early Modern English - is too broad and loaded in this context. I will edit. Sitaanne 23:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

What does it mean?

The book is also a significant example of Middle Scots, not too dissimilar to Early Modern English...

Though modern Scottish writers usually prefer to use the term 'Middle Scots' it is worth noting that the original author drew no distinction between the language of Scotland and England; in fact quite the contrary, expressly writing in Chapter XIII "...there is nocht tua nations vndir the firmament that ar mair contrar and different fra vthirs nor is inglis men and scottis men, quhoubeit that thai be vitht in ane ile, and nychtbours, and of ane langage ..."
