Wordpress Thesis related question

I’m helping a client out on a website, which is build with the thesis theme. I’m not so familiar yet with the whole way how the coding works, so I was hoping I could get help around here.

Here’s the thing:
In the design, the frontpage has an area, where a block text is shown. It IS text from a post. BUT title is not visible and the number of comments is not visible either. Just the text should be visible.

How do I do that on the Thesis theme?

I know with a normal WP theme that can be achieved with this code:

        <div id="berichten">
       		<div id="blok1">
       			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
        		<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=4&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
         			<div class="entry">
        			<?php the_excerpt();?>	
                    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="more-link">Lees verder</a>
        			</div>
		       	<?php edit_post_link('Bewerken'); ?>
				</div>
        </div>       
				<?php endwhile; ?>

PHP:

Any help is very welcome.
