WordPress Loop, how to start 4th post in

I have a wordpress loop like this:

<?php $recent = new WP_Query(“showposts=10”); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>

What I want to do is instead of start from the 1st post (ordered by date) I want to start 4th post in. The reason why is i’m listing the most recent 4 earlier in the site and I want to continue the listing later on in the page in a different part of the HTML.

Thanks
