As much as I like the insertion of the angel into the harshness of Hosea, I agree with you. The most likely reference is to Joseph Addison 1672-1719 verse "The Campaign" "And, pleas'd th' Almighty's orders to perform, Rides in the whirl-wind, and directs the storm". Pinetop often quotes Addison for "The woman who deliberates is lost."

Thanks . . . is "The Campaign" the title of the poem? Obviously, this is from where Page drew his reference, and I wonder what inspired Addison to include the angel?
