Definition
n. (Roman and Scots law) the remission of a debt through an acquittance by the creditor testifying to the receipt of money which never has been paid—a kind of legal fiction for a free remission: (theol.) the doctrine that the satisfaction rendered by Christ was not in itself really a true or full equivalent but was merely accepted by God through his gracious good-will as sufficient—laid down by Duns Scotus and maintained by the Arminians.
