[6] Bataille inserted a piece of verse to the praise of Jacques Le Fèvre in his Meslanges[7] dated 1613; by will, the latter left him on 22 December 1627, a part of the books of music which collected all his works.

On 5 February 1614, he was a witness at the marriage of Jean Rocher, Sieur de Bréau, agent at the Finance Council.

[11] His friendship with Pierre I Ballard, which favored his career, shows in his sponsorship of Marguerite, daughter of the printer and Sansonne Coulon, dated 11 February 1619.
