This proposition appears to emphasize the location and limit of power. God does not have the power to grant that a res or "thing" be endowed with the power of rendering itself indeterminata or "undetermined". Infinitely infinite power lacks this power which would be akin to substance creating another substance.
Res quae a Deo ad aliquid operandum determinata est, se ipsam indeterminatam reddere non potest.
Translated as,
A thing which has been determined by God to produce an outcome, cannot return itself to undetermined.
Demonstratio: Haec propositio patet ex axiomate tertio.
Translated as
This proposition is evident from A3.
