Batt resided for some years in the English monastery of his order at Dieulwart, in Lorraine. Benedictine archivist Dom Benet Weldon wrote that Batt died on 12 Jan. 1651, and added that Batt:
was a great promoter and practiser of regular discipline, a famous translator of many pious books into English. He wrote a most curious hand, and spent much of his time at La Celle, where there is a Catechism of a large size, which he composed at the instance of some of the fathers in the mission. [1]
