The explanation is:
Quarterly, 1 & 4 Brewes, 2 Carbonel, 3 Shardelowe...impaling Hopton.
William's great grandfather, Sir John de Brewes, married Joan, daughter and heiress of Sir John de Shardelowe. I'm not certain how the Carbonel arms were acquired but they are associated with John de Shardelowe whose mother may have been a Carbonel heiress.
Elizabeth was the daughter of Sir John Hopton, but not an heiress, so the Hopton arms were not added to the family's achievement.

This second set is that of their son Anthony Hansard, who married a daughter of the Lovells of Norfolk.
Here we have:
Quarterly, 1 Hansard, 2 Brewes, 3 Carbonel, 4 Shardelowe...impaling Lovell.
Again, the Lovell wife was not an heiress so the Hansard achievement was not augmented and their son carried the same arms.

The arms show Hansard as before, impaling Skipwith.
Giles Hansard, the heir of Anthony, was married to Jane, the daughter of Thomas Skipwith.
The manor of Fressingfield had been a long-running cause of dispute between the Townshends and the Hansards which had been settled by Anthony. Giles was able to pass it on to his daughter Katherine who married Thomas Rouse.
The whole story of these three sets of arms is illustrated in the pedigree below.
