A quick definition of reset:

Reset: In Scottish law, reset refers to two things. Firstly, it is the act of knowingly receiving stolen goods. This means that if someone buys or accepts something that they know has been stolen, they are committing reset. Secondly, it can refer to the archaic practice of harboring or sheltering a criminal or outlaw. A person who commits reset is called a resetter. Reset can also be used as a verb.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In Scots law, reset refers to two things:

  1. The act of knowingly receiving stolen goods.
  2. The act of harboring or sheltering a criminal or outlaw (archaic).

Examples:

  • If someone buys a stolen phone from a thief, they are committing reset.
  • In the past, people who helped criminals hide from the law were also guilty of reset.

The examples illustrate how reset involves knowingly aiding or abetting criminal activity. In the first example, the person who buys the stolen phone is aware that it was stolen and is therefore guilty of reset. In the second example, the person who helps a criminal hide from the law is also aware of their illegal activity and is therefore guilty of reset.

Our Need-love for God is in a different position because our need of Him can never end either in this world or in any other. But our awareness of it can, and then the Need-love dies too. "The Devil was sick, the Devil a monk would be." There seems no reason for describing as hypocritical the short-lived piety of those whose religion fades away once they have emerged from "danger, necessity, or tribulation." Why should they not have been sincere? They were desperate and they howled for help. Who wouldn't?
