There is only one Word of God. Quite clearly the Alexandrian text form has not been preserved in all ages, else it would not have required rediscovery. That is the point.
Preservation and Providence are two different things.

"In all ages," seems like a fairly straightforward phrase. I am not sure why people have such difficulty with it.
Being preserved in all ages does not mean it has been accessible in all ages. As the Scripture reference i used pointed to, the Bible gives evidence that its preservation is not connected to the accessibility of it.

Clearly if the Alexandrian text was not preserved, how could translators be using it today?
