Difficult to locate this person either as John White Osgood or John White. VCH for Gloucestershire merely states that John Osgood was instituted at Westbury (on Severn) in 1627 - "a preaching minister in 1650", ref. Hockaday Abs. cccxc. The records give him as an MA from Hart Hall Oxford; the only possibility in Foster is White, John, of Oxon., pleb, HART HALL, adm. 1 Mar. 1582/3, aged "8".
National Archives holds a will of John White Osgood of Westbury (PROB11/273/328) dated 1658
Fasti Herefordenses gives this name as vicar choral 1616, with an MA degree, vicar of Westbury, date of death 1657.
It is possible that this name refers to more than one person, although the various titles etc. do hang together for one man
