     If these apparitions appeare in the Water, then it is called Hydromancie. These I have heard are very incident to Catch-poles, Bum-baylies, and the like, when they are duckt under Water at high Tyde at one of the Temples.

From Middle French hydromancie, from Old French hydromancie, from Late Latin hydromantīa, from Ancient Greek ὑδρομαντεία (hudromanteía), compound of ὑδρο- (hudro-, “hydro-, water”) + μαντεία (manteía, “divination”).
