The question still remains of the coherence of the passage.  What
connection does your phrase "Here perserveres the faith of the saints"
have with "If any one is to . . . "?  This is especially the case since
the hODE implies an equation with the phrase "If any one is to be taken
captive, to captivity he goes."
