Richard Baxter, a presbyterian minister, witnessed the final stages of the Battle of Worcester in 1651:

And till midnight the bullets flying towards my door and windows, and the sorrowful fugitives hasting by for their lives, did tell me of the calamitousness of war.

Richard Baxter (1615–1691)

from his autobiography, Reliquiae Baxterianae (published in 1696)
